I Plead My Case

A sinner's plea...

 

 

At the cross I plead my case

To You who willingly took my place

Heaven bids me now confess

The beast in me I now profess

And here I kneel before the throne

with sins I've done, secrets now known

all laid out for the Judge to see

Your verdict now awaiting me.

 

At the cross I plead my case

Fearing for my Master's face

I grieve for all the chances lost

Ignorance of a pleasure's cost

Excuses, reasons now prove so lame

Earthly glories fading to shame

Truth withheld and white lies told

Loving the bliss of Satan's hold.

 

At the cross I plead my case

Begging for a drop of grace

Sinful life I have renounced

Your endless love to be announced

Proclaim me guilty for justice's sake

Torment of hell I now shall take

But like to the thief before he died

Remember me where you reside.

 

Author's Note

I have shown my sentimental, sensual, and suicidal side. Here's a glimpse on the spiritual. :)

Anyway, I have nearly 350 RRs so I have to finish those before accepting RRs again. To be fair, I won't send my RRs in the meantime. This poem will be the last for now.

School break is over so I might not be as active in this site as before. Best wishes to all!! :)

please send RR no matter what time you have to respond in like...i want to know when you post and will read, as you, when time permits .. this poem reaches to the very core of what Christ is all about ... i can not tell you how much it helps me this morning to read this as my own prayer and expressions ... it is cleansing and so spot on ... did you know that when Jesus was taken up into heaven to "...sit at the right had of the Father" there is a reason the apostles said that. in old testament times the kings, when seated on the judgement seat, were flanked on the right and the left by seats occupied on the left by a prosecutor and on the right by an advocate for mercy. this is how the king came to decisions when complaints were brought before him. so the apostles wanted us to know that Jesus Christ sits as our advocate before God the Father. :))) thanks so much for this marvelous poem and the blessing it has given me ...

I would like to thank you, too, for being a blessing to an amateur writer/poet like me. Your willingness to read more of my work inspires me more than you will ever know. Einstein, you are God's gift. :)

[Eddie Davis]

Wow, that was wonderful, Blue. this is one of your best poems, if not the best one. It captures the penitent sinner's desperation and realization of the wages of their sins. But ends on the hope of grace, which is always extended to the sincere. Very well done, a flawless poem.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Eddie, this has been shelved in my mind for quite some time. It took me a great deal of courage to face these thoughts. Thanks as always. :)

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

I pray the same thing, thank you. :)

Wow.
This is awesome. Blue, this is absolutely breath taking.
I love, love, love, LOVE this one.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Well, it's always you who inspire me with God-inspired poems. It's time I do my share in God's work in proclaiming his love and grace. :)

[Angel]

Well, if it was me that inspired you to write this gem, Sweetie...then I am grateful.
God has let me see where the seeds we have planted together are bearing fruit...and that is glorious. This is a magnificent poem, Luv, and I am very proud of you.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Hahahaha, thanks, Angel! That means so much to me. :)
