Dying to Live
Before I knew You,
A ragged trough held the noble young king.
There to offer a gift only He could bring.
Before I knew You,
Emissaries bore epistles of truth.
“He offers new essence and heart; dying is proof.”
Before I knew You,
Maternal tears as wrongly accused.
Innocence possessed anguished abuse.
Before I knew You,
I cried alone, masking for the world each day,
Didn’t need anyone, selfishly seeking my own way.
Now, I know You,
I am free; shackles released.
Truth, love, comfort you’ve never ceased.
