LINES OF THOUGHT © 2013
Lord, the world remains troubled by Your name,
For Your truth challenges the power that consumes it in shame.
And the more I love You, as a sinner I stand,
The more the world stirs with this redemptive hand.
But I care not for the criticism or doubts that surround,
For I know in You, Lord, my soul is unbound.
My love for You doesn’t rely on earthly acclaim,
It’s a divine flame, burning quietly, without blame.
The world may fervently reject Your name,
But I, a sinner, embrace Your vast love the same.
For in Your forgiveness, I find my healing grace,
And in Your mercy, my life finds its place.
The more the world tries to silence this feeling within,
The stronger the love that begins to begin.
And though I am imperfect, I continue to love,
For I know in You, Lord, I will always find my above.
