How could I forget?

How could I forget?

It was in your image.

I was created.

Why is it, I turned from you?

Gave my face to the lesser?

Why is it I let go of your steadfast love?

To pay regard to vain idols?

Why is it I gave the affections

You rightfully deserve ?

To those underserving?

Why is it I assumed outside of you

There was better?

Lord, there is none greater

None more merciful

None with a more enduring love

For even in my delusion

You showed me kindness

Turned my face to the cross

Cured my blindness

Through the light

That is Christ

Made me aware

I suffered from ailment

I refused to acknowledge

Suffered from illness

Only the blood of your son

Could cure

Showed me

He died for me

even before

I loved him

Or saw him as King

And even while

I lay slave to disobedience

Lord, you cured my blindness

Through the light

That is Christ

showed me, in him

Lay my salvation

Showed me in him

There is so much more

In him lay

Love and goodness

Beyond compare

A Love that repairs

A love that restores

A love that endures

A love that has remained faithful

Through all time

a love that has awakened

memory

showed me I was made in your image

a love that has turned my face

back to my father

And showed me outside of him

There is none greater
