"Divine Romance"
November 24, 2010
I knew of Your love and I turned the other way
I laughed at Your forever and accepted his “today”
I let go of Your passionate gaze and took hold of his hand
He offered to be my rock, which was firm as sand
Empty promises and sweet nothings did he whisper in my ear
Your powerful voice announced a warning that I chose not to hear
Out of the light, I ran away into the shadows
Mysterious and luring, he led me straight to the gallows
The sand under my feet started sinking, pulling me in
Over and over, I was cut by knives of my own sin
I had no one to lean on; my lover ran away
Why had I taken the hand of one who would lead me astray?
“Father! Father!” I called out, but my sin disgusted You
So You sent Your perfect Son, who immediately came running through
I turned my head away, couldn’t see the disgust on His face
But when I looked up, it was filled with passion, love, and grace
The only way to save my life was for Him to die
And as He marched up to the cross, I began to cry
Surely He didn’t know about me; this could never be true
But before He took His last breath, He said, “Meredith, this is for you.”
Immediately, my bloody gown turned white
And God in Heaven loved me with all of His might
Three days did I cry and mourn, my heart heavy with guilt
When suddenly, Christ walked in and broke the barrier death built!
As fast as my feet would carry me, I ran into His arms
Gone were satan’s accusations; demolished were his charms
My tears covered Christ’s feet as I fell on my face
I washed them away with my hair; I’d never known such grace
I am my Beloved’s, and my Beloved is mine
Nothing could ever pull me away from a romance this divine
