RebirthA Poem by Jeremy LittonA poem about how we all have sinful hearts and are born with that. But that Christ died so that He would not longer see sin, but only the conquering of sin in us.I am but a black stain Born like this from birth Life could be seen as vain
A chasm fills my soul Endless, craving, slaying A soul under no control
This chasm breaks my spirit It beckons me to evil Forever must I endure it?
Every selfish desire is found here Every evil deed has its root here Here in every man’s soul
There is no
escape from the chasm From pain, from death, from sin It is mankind’s just punishment
For do I oppose the evil in the chasm? Do I try to run from it? Do I not do what it desires?
Am I not a slave to its grasp? A mere w***e to its call? I indeed deserve the worst death
But Love entered this world Love came to destroy all evil Love came to conquer the chasm
And that Love did conquer With power and might It destroyed the grasp
The grasp that holds all mans’ soul Christ filled the great chasm And now love reins forever! Amen! © 2014 Jeremy Litton |
