ABANDONING OURSELVES TO GOD




It is hard to do this
Abandoning ourselves to You, God
Showing upraised fist

My heart addicted
Closed and dark with my false self
Despair predicted

Moods swing wildly now
Grasping for substance untouched
Sweat drops to my brow

Shame explodes censure strong
Satan whispering softly
“You do not belong.”

But this I reject
Abandoning sin and self
God’s grace to accept

Unburdened with load
Throwing self into embrace
God’s arms me to hold

Unfettered and free
Soul cleansed and abandoned
No depravity

Holy Father’s name
Iesous Christos arisen
Holy Spirit flame. Amen
