In You...

Spiritual realization....

In you I am prefect

Never once flawed

Whiter than snow

In them I am marred

I am unworthy of life

A creature saturated in sin

In you I am the light

I am the words which speak your voice

Everything I was is no more because I know you

In them they see my past

The see what I used to be

The see…well, what I still am

In you I cry

I bury myself inside

So ashamed to open my eyes

If you see what I’ve seen

Been where I have been

Even heard the words I spoke

Oh God how do you still love me?

In your image I was made in such purity

But in your image is not always portrayed

Yet you still love me

When they hate me

When they slay me you care

So, I cry out to you how?

And you cry back, "You’re my child

Even when you are not in me I am still "in" you…

From the day you were born you were mine

Anointed with a purpose beyond your eyes…

Even when you think you have turned away

Remember in your heart I will never die

Rooted and connected internally for eternity

Even at the times you have strayed away from me

I am forever you and you are forever mines

Because I am you and you my child am I

And I will never forsake the child that often forsakes I…"

I love this! The feelings of the poem are potrayed very well as well as the message. I myself am a Christian and I think that this poem will cause people to turn to God! You have done an excellent job!

I love the sense of spirituality you got from this piece. It flows evenly, and it gets the message across without seeming overly preachy. Simply, it is beautiful. This part really hit home for me:

Remember in your heart I will never die
Rooted and connected internally for eternity
Even at the times you have strayed away from me

The internal rhyme within the second line just grabbed me. Great write, and thanks for sharing!
