When the Forgiver Forgives

When the Forgiver Forgives

 

Burdens heavy abundantly released,

Giving way to a freedom aforetime

Opening unto a grand life anew.

 

Chains in which were once tightly restricted,

Now have become unloosened by the Light

When the glorious Forgiver forgives.

 

Hearts awash new, shining as Christ’s delight,

Faith fills vessels, His Spirit fills temples.

The Redeemer redeems His so chosen.

 

His light radiantly shines through the world,

Filling lives with His mercy and favor

When the merciful Forgiver forgives.

 

Because grace has come with strength and power

To show how to live victoriously,

We have assurance, for He bore our sins.

 

Humbling Himself, Jesus became sin,

So all may fully know deeply He loves

When the beautiful Forgiver forgives.

Melinda you have a way with sharing your faith and the truth so descriptively! I can see the images you write and feel the measure of importance. This one didn't flow as easily for me as I read it, but honestly, that is good because it made me slow down and focus on what you were conveying rather than just enjoying alliteration.

I agree dear Melinda.
"Humbling Himself, Jesus became sin,

If we don't forgive. The anger and disappointment will weight us down. Blind us. Powerful and worthwhile poetry my dear friend.
