A short poem of abandonment to divine will
Updated: Aug 13, 2022

Preface note: This is a short poetic plea not for an agonizing physical death on a cross but rather the death of the selfish and destructive part of the ego that keeps us from our missions in life to extend the loving mercy of God's forgiveness. This "death" of selfishness is achieved by embracing the cross that we must carry to the hill and learning to serve God and others ultimately in the land of abundance that we are all destined for.
It is really just about becoming a little less selfish with the gifts that we have been given.
Blessed Lord how can I
Ever look you in the eye
When I am so sinful true
Weak, I cannot follow through
With my pledge to serve you well
Please don’t cast me into hell
In that weakness lifted me up
On the cross that was set up
For me to hang on and die
Looking through the darkened sky
Cloud and darkness do not hide
I will suffer and abide
'til the father let me rest
No more to be put to the test
I’m not Christ nor God nor Saint
Just a portrait you will paint
With the eternal brush you make
The image that others here will take
And say “yes” or “no” he was
Dedicated to your cause
Of extending mercy to
All who ever hoped in you
