Today
Peace be with you.
I found God today.
In the abysmal decay of darkness I cried out to him.
My pain was too endless, my soul in such despair,
and I knew I could not die alone.
There in the shattered mother's womb I had lain,
my child eyes full of war and anguish.
What did a whimsical sinner like me have to live for?
(Hope, my heart screamed for in a pleading rhythm.)
In the murky sunlight I had waited;
my naivety so clear to everyone but myself.
I refused to listen when I cried abandonment.
I refused to see when I claimed He'd forgotten.
I refused to speak when I called Him on silence
How foolish I was to believe He would never
find me -- that a damned soul like mine had
been forgotten.
Oh Glory, how the brazen light warms me now --
now when I know He was waiting there for me,
waiting for the day when I'd say, I found God today.
