Amazing Grace

This is a memoir, a poem, a mile marker in my journey to knowing the divine.

I could almost see my heart, dying in my hands
Beating, separated from the gaping cavity in my chest
In the distance, my shadow departed into strange lands
Casting a dark figure, chasing the moon in the west
My thoughts rang eerily loud, like a howling wind
But I heard His whisper, silencing my wailing mind

All the broken places He has held together in light
A heart of flesh, He already prepared having insight
Adonai is my strength and my fortress indeed
When my shield dropped in battle, and I was in need
The Captain of my salvation The Most High
Mighty and wondrous kept me from the enemy nigh

10 000 on the left and 10 000 on the right
Elohiym El Elyon I boast in His might
When the enemy thought he had me snared
Yahuah Tseva’oth brought forth his commanded
Scattering the darkness with His pure light
After all He did promise, I am daily in His sight

Adonai is my delight even in the midst of tempest
Darkness scattered my shadow fled the west
I now see how from old, new is created
With Elohiym there is nothing wasted
All the broken pieces He has mended
My soul He kept, my spirit He refreshed.
