Poetic (#22)

Here’s a poem by guest writer, M.S.Lowndes. It speaks of how God sees us and loves us.

 

 

 

You Are Worthy

Don’t see yourself as insignificant,

Not worthy to come before God,

Fearing the stains are too deep to clean

From the sins you’re guilty of

And don’t feel as though you’re not worthy

To dine at His table of grace,

Nor even to gather the scraps that fall,

Nor look into His loving face

But see yourself clothed in garments

Fit only to clothe a king,

Eating as His honoured guest

And wearing His signet ring

For that is how God sees you,

A worthy child indeed

A royal priesthood, bearing His name

The moment you came to believe

For surely as Christ’s blood has washed you,

You shall be whiter than snow,

So don’t see yourself as someone unworthy,

A tiny speck nobody knows

For that only belittles the value

Of Jesus Christ’s spilled blood,

For it’s through His blood he’s cleansed you

And showed you how much He loved

He says, ‘My child you are precious,

More than you can comprehend,

For nothing you’ve done could lessen my love,

For I’d always call you my friend

My heart just longs for you to come

And bask in my embrace,

My child, I will always love you

And pour out my mercy and grace

So don’t feel afraid to draw near,

Nor feel you have no worth,

My son’s blood has purchased you

And has given you new birth

So come, enjoy my presence

And let me hear you sing,

The new song I have given you,

For to me, you are everything’.
