He Saves
You didn’t leave me in the past,
Where faded memories were dark, shadows
Breaking through my peace, rhythms
Raining like echoes from the long-ago,
Erasing the beautiful, the joy and hope
The promises of wonderful, in hues
So brilliant, like the laughter of a lavender
Bloom, the music in cobalt blues,
The blush, trembling in whispery cerise,
Glowing magnificence – promises
From the dewlike blessings, falling
From heaven – in stunning hues – singing
To the past of a gorgeous that has come,
Shyly wiping away the tears of yesterday
With silent breath, gasping for truth
Trusting in the One who shines, brighter
Than the sun. He is the Son, the love,
The beautiful in every color, the miracle
In every dream, the lesson in every need,
The feeling beyond any affection…
He is the One who makes a way through the past,
Through the pain and the failure, the flaws
That makes us human and more damaged than
We care to admit – more broken than we can express,
More defective and insufficient, more weak and frail
Than our description of humanity – without Him,
The One who makes a way beyond the deficiency
The humanness, the limitations of our own abilities…
Because He knows us better than we know us,
Because He loves us more than we love us,
Because He abides with us – when we’re lost
Because He is love that silences the broken heart
Because He is the answer to every prayer spoken
Because He is the Savior, the Peace, the Hope
Because He knows us and longs to show us…
The way out of the past, out of the pain, out of the doubt…
We have a chance to reach out, in faith, with the assurance
That our sincere belief in this Jesus, His grace – we can
Sincerely say… HE saves! Oh, yes… HE SAVES!!!
