In Christ Alone: A Poetic Testimony

Endlessly, You came after me…pursued me in my vulnerability.

When all I had to offer was my brokenness,

You stepped in like an analyst of the soul.

Gently, You spoke with words so lovely:

“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,

for I am meek and lowly in heart,

and you shall find rest for your soul.”

I had never heard such words before.

In my pain, I ran to You

scars and wounds so deep,

I was running out of my shoes to you.

Yet there You were…arms wide open,

rescuing me.

Falling into Your comfort

was where I finally found safety.

Just by Your touch, my wounds were healed.

In You, all my pain disappeared.

How could love heal me so deeply?

Then, You gently spoke again:

“I was wounded for your transgressions,

bruised for your iniquities,

and by My stripes, you are healed.”

It all began to make sense.

Your love…like the perfect fragrance.

So deep, it’s impossible to weigh.

So vast, it’s immeasurable.

Your words are true,

so I came to taste and see

that You are Good.
