Everlasting a poem inspired by the book Redeeming Love

I feel the devil is in my thoughts,

I’m going to wash my sins in the stream

though I fear you won’t forgive me

it is going to take all my skin off to become clean.

Now the humiliation is sinking deeper

I’ve forgotten about my pride

The walls I’ve built are crumbling down

I’m scared I won’t survive.

But the hurt and pain won’t make me weaker

I’ve been here once before

then I never had faith pulling me through

I never gave my chance to hope

remembering what false dreams could do.

But now the voice has changed

my saviour guiding me on my way

and hope isn’t such a distant thing

and the devil’s voice is kept at bay

where forgiveness and love

is everlasting.
