LAME AS ME









My Lord gazes profoundly, a hue of tenderness,          
Usually our glances penetrate each other, I deeply gulp. 
But this day, shame dwarfs my uncanniness,
So that I come reluctant as a dirge
I come anyways Lord, lame as me. 

I might be filthy, swarmed in grit, 
I might be distraught, burdened with regret,
I might be violent, me judging me. 
For not breaking the bad, but could I ?
I come anyways Lord, lame as me. 

Didn't you promise, where sin increases,
Your grace does too, your highness? Rm 5:20
You have the means to unlock these chains,
And free the sinner, burdened by pain. 
 So I come anyways Lord, lame as me. 

For to whom else shall I go?
You have the message of eternal life. Jn 6:68
