I Plead My Case

A sinner's plea...

 

 

At the cross I plead my case

To You who willingly took my place

Heaven bids me now confess

The beast in me I now profess

And here I kneel before the throne

with sins I've done, secrets now known

all laid out for the Judge to see

Your verdict now awaiting me.

 

At the cross I plead my case

Fearing for my Master's face

I grieve for all the chances lost

Ignorance of a pleasure's cost

Excuses, reasons now prove so lame

Earthly glories fading to shame

Truth withheld and white lies told

Loving the bliss of Satan's hold.

 

At the cross I plead my case

Begging for a drop of grace

Sinful life I have renounced

Your endless love to be announced

Proclaim me guilty for justice's sake

Torment of hell I now shall take

But like to the thief before he died

Remember me where you reside.

 

Author's Note

I have shown my sentimental, sensual, and suicidal side. Here's a glimpse on the spiritual. :)

Anyway, I have nearly 350 RRs so I have to finish those before accepting RRs again. To be fair, I won't send my RRs in the meantime. This poem will be the last for now.

School break is over so I might not be as active in this site as before. Best wishes to all!! :)

You have the gift of expression Blue. Your economy of words which so accurately relays your feels tells me your English Language is quite good. We all have our fear of the cross symbolizing the judgement and yet we all have our own crosses to bear. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Write on!

[Blue]

Thank you so much, Rocans. I always appreciate your words!

[TL Boehm]

Amen. This is a great spiritual piece - it is not very common on this site but there are some wonderful spiritual writers here. "Remember me where you reside." Yes.
I'm behind in RR's too and am doing the same thing. Not sending any till I catch up.

I have of recent taken a number of classes on orientalism...and they differ from your understanding of Christ being on the cross...your words are as usual very well done...you need 2 study yer content a bit more though in this instance

As always your work is memorable. This is a good poem for all who have sinned and who fear their god's rath. This poem shows that remarkably well.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Thank you so much, Katie. :)
