After the Cross
August 14, 2010
after the cross
under the blood
all darkness removed
in light’s holy flood
promise unfolding
blemish erased
beauty from dust
glory and grace
nothing between us
me and my Lord
all sweet communion
sinner restored
walking together
sit at His feet
rest in this mercy
life now complete
often I find myself
standing without
wiping my feet again
suffering doubt
forgetting forgiveness
living like lost
yet offered communion
after the cross

“wiping my feet again

it would be nice, no, to take off our shoes and walk across a clean floor and revel in the smooth coolness under our soles?
so pleased that you got inspired!
This is so beautiful. I read it, and it just comes with a melody.
