Christian Poem of the Month

 

We Come Boldly

 

by Jerry Johnson

 

Though deafened by doubting
Though blinded by lies
Though frozen with fear
Though brazen our skies

Though dumbfound in darkness
Though chained to our will
Though tainted with sins
Though born for the kill

Though doomed for destruction
Though stinking with pride
Though driven by lust
Though longing to hide

You still came to save us!
You still paid the price!
You still took the whip:
Willing sacrifice!

We're Father adopted
And Brother beloved
Spirit instructed
Indwelt from above!

Though we're still only infants
Though our better deeds too few
Your arms remain wide open!
And We come boldly to You!
