The Washing
Hi all
I have been away for awhile.. but back home safe and sound. Lots going on in my life, some real storms right now...but I know the Lord will bring me through.
Here is a writing from today:
THE WASHING
It was early in the morning
I sat naked in the tub
Washing away all the
Grime and dirt from the previous day
The songs of praise music was playing
Loudly and vibrantly
I listened to the words
As they uplifted my heart
From inside to out
As the song played
I hugged my knees to my chest
And bowed my head
The tears began to fall
They dropped into the water below
Oh Jesus I cried!
Thank you for washing me
For washing away all of my sins
Of yesterday and today
You are so awesome
How I yearn to live like you
To walk with you
To know of the plans you have for me
I read about Eternity
How awesome it will be
I can feel you hugging me now
As I sit here nakedly
I ask you Dear Jesus to clean me
To make me anew
I am hungry and yearning for you
The past has been washed away
I am a mere breath here today
Keep showing me dear Lord
Where you want me to go
When I look to you Lord
I do have hope
I know I do not need to fear
Because when all is lost
I know you are here
As the water swirled down the drain
In rapid circles and swirls
Just as my past sins
Went away
As you wiped my slate clean
I am so thankful for you
I give thanks and praise to you
For the cleansing you give me
You never leave me
You never forsake me
I anxiously await to see your face
I can just imagine that day
That will come
Your hand reaching to me
Welcome home my child!
