From the dark of the foot
of my bed
To the light at the foot
of God's throne,
My heart, mind and soul
was led by the
Holy Spirit to my great
grace awakening.
Through long corridors too
dark to see,
And into the light where
God presides,
I shielded my eyes and bowed
my head
As His heavy holy weighed
me to a knee,
And an angel pointed his
sword aloft, I
Saw it was my life's sin
that hurt God so.
With my heart torn wide
open, as tears
Rained rushing rivers down
my red face,
God poured into the hole
He made there,
All I would need of His
first saving grace.
John 3:16, 16:8
*In
the Fall of 1984, in the middle of my
home's darkened living room,
overwhelmed
by the final realization
of the extent of
God's love for me despite
my sinning ways,
I was convicted in my heart
over having
hurt Him so. I dropped to
my knees, shook
uncontrollably, and began
to cry like I
never had before.
I realized afterward I had
been awakened
to the state of my broken
relationship
with God by His grace and
mercy, and that
I had a choice to make,
to believe on the
gift of His Son, and to
turn from my sin
and toward Him for the rest
of my life,
which I so appreciatively
did. |
