Life’s wilderness breathes–this dark, lonely place
Falling away with sin, feeling disgraced
Searching for hope’s light, weary of darkness
Shame and guilt unmask tracks, never erased
Coming to this place, filled with prickly thorns
Plowing straight through, left bloody and battered
Searching for new hope, never forgotten
This harsh life’s future, forever shattered
Ominous clouds loom over horizon
Lightning strikes, temple curtain torn in two
Searching for life’s fresh start, to be reborn
Plodding into darkness, absent of clues
Deserving life’s worst, approaching the Pit
End of time arrives, stop and surrender
Searching for God’s Grace, feeling forsaken
Heavens brighten up, with newfound splendor
Stumbling steps make haste, Eternity waits
From bloody Cross, hope springs from empty tomb
Searching and accepting, come near this Cross
Salvation through Christ, our Father’s heirloom
Jesus beckons, come forward, taking knee
Bring sin’s burdens to the Cross, forever free
From Titus 2:11-13: “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives hat are self-controlled, upright,and godly, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

“Searching for God’s Grace, feeling forsaken
Heavens brighten up, with newfound splendor”…these two lines are my favorite! Seeing a glimpse of heaven, reaching for Jesus,…it’s the most amazing feeling!
