HOME > POETRY > PSALM 25

I LOOKED AT VOICELESS FACES,

BUT HEARD THEIR SILENCE CRY OUT LOUD.

 I WITNESSED A SMILING COUNTENANCE,

 THOUGH THEY FELT LONELY IN THE CROWD.

AND THE ONLY WAY TO WIPE AWAY AN IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD BACK TEAR.,

WAS TO LAY ASIDE MY PUMMELED PAIN, AND FEAR NOT TO DRAW NEAR..

FOR IF I SHOULD TAKE ANOTHER BREATH

 WITHOUT TENDING TO  THEIR CARES,

 HOW COULD I REFLECT MY FATHERS LOVE ,

THAT'S SHINING  EVERYWHERE?

OH, LET ME FEEL THEIR  PAIN AND NOT TURN ASIDE.

LET ME WALK AMONG THE WRETCHED, WHO FEEL THEY HAVE TO HIDE,

AND I HUMBLY SHOW HIS MERCY, KNOWING THE SAME FLOWED OUT TO ME.

YES,. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD,  THAT LOST SOUL COULD BE ME.

TRUE LOVE WOULD SACRIFICE ITS SELF.

WITHOUT DOUBT. WITHOUT MEASURE.

ITS THE SOURCE OF PUREST WEALTH.   ITS LIFE'S GREATEST TREASURE.!
