Deliverance
Darkness
swept down upon him
Threatening
to crush the breath
From
his very soul.
The
talons of hate
Tearing
at his heart,
The
evil smell of death
Hung
heavy about him.
Struggling,
He
slowly sank beneath
The
weight of a thousand
Unforgotten
sins
Wishing
only to be forgiven
The
lies of a lifetime
Bound
into a single moment
Of
painful truth.
Forced
to his back,
Feeling
the foul breath
Of
his conquerors
Enveloping
his face,
Desiring
to have the peace
Of
being stabbed in the back.
Then,
as if in an instant
All
the accusers were gone.
A
rough-hewn hand reaching down
Helping
him rise to his feet
To
steady once faltering steps
Where
have your attackers gone?
A
voice of quiet thunder
Moved
his broken soul.
Before
him was only this man
That
seemed like a long forgotten
Friend.
My
child,
There
are no sins so great
That
my Father above cannot forget
Once
my blood has washed you clean.
Then,
as if the sun had dawned within Him
Jesus
stood in all His glory
And
Heaven sang.
