As I knelt before His presence
Wrapped in garments stained by sin
I could not look up to heaven
For the shame revealed within.
Then the Lamb of God incarnate
Stood in robes of spotless white
As His holy justice vanquished
Every pretense from His sight.
Tears of anguish broke upon me
Waves of guilt exposed my soul
As repentance ceased my wanderings
I became as white as snow.
Then His words of love came flowing
From above the Mercy Seat
Where the nail prints of His justice
Offered grace for my defeat.
Shouts of praise began to fill me
Freedom's song began to flow
As the honor and the glory
Rose to Christ who loved me so.

Thank you, Papa, for sharing. In your poems, you do a good job of summing up the whole lesson/chapter/passage or whatever your teaching on. This was another beautiful poem.
Thank you, honey. Sure looking forward to seeing you in a very few weeks. I need counsel from my doctor!!
