DIALOGUEA Poem by Sylvia Chika
I know me I’ve known me for a while now I know what I’ve done I’m not proud of me I’m not proud of the things I’ve done I’m not proud of the life I’ve lived I’m not proud of the person I’ve become I’m not so nice I’ve done very ugly things I’m not worthy to stand before you You should hear what they say about me The nasty names they call me The way they treat me I’m a sinner! You don’t want someone like me No one wants someone like me I’m better off in the shadows of my past
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you Before you were born I set you apart I have loved you with an everlasting love Turn back to me with your whole heart I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own
sake And remembers your
sins no more Forget the former things Do not dwell on the
past See, I am doing a new thing! I will build you up again I have called you by your name You are mine You have been honored And I have loved you Therefore I will give men for you And people for your life Fear not, for I am with you
All the words in red are words
from The Bible
