Wash...again

A poem I had written a little while back. Decided to share it by posting it here.

Wash...Again. 

Wash,

Cleanse,

Scold this filthy skin

From your presense,

banned forever, fully clothed in sin

Desires,

Selfishness,

Rebelling from within

My own rage

My fleshly wants

are the lions in my den

Wanting to belong to the "in"

crowd surrounding,

unable to spin...

180 degrees back to your grace

to seek your face

It's a chase

You pull me into an embrace

I stop for a hug...and then back to disgrace

I pace

Why the chase? When my soul thirsts for you

How I long to be free!

Of the misery

Called sin, trampling me.

Ultimately Your will prevails

never failing to bail...

Us out of our shame

Wigging out, we came,

Out of the darkness shouting Your name

Chastise and shove

some tough love

from above

Your grace and mercy forever reign,

We will never be the same,

In Jesus's name

Amen.
