A while back I was considering how it must have felt that night when the Lord, captive and beaten, walking across the courtyard caught the eyes of Peter who so bravely had spoken only a short while before, of his resolute desire to stand close to His Lord. How that gaze reached to his very soul causing many tears of sadness. It caused me to write some thoughts of my own:
I never would have thought that yet again you look at me
Your eyes pierce through the walls I've built, the life I lead
I thought that this was love, to serve, to give my life
to those I meet, the needy, tossed about in strife?
Your eyes pierce through the walls I've built, the life I lead
I thought that this was love, to serve, to give my life
to those I meet, the needy, tossed about in strife?
That this was meant for You, to please Your very heart,
but for the love of God or love of man I played this part?
The question posed was like a lever pressing into locks condemned to rust
painfully, searingly with determined wrench to open, is a must.

The question posed was like a lever pressing into locks condemned to rust
painfully, searingly with determined wrench to open, is a must.
The firm determined surge of strength I know will break the seals
and as the lid falls open what kind of treasure it reveals.
No treasure there, the shame arises as the gloom lets loose its slime
the hidden silt of things not cleansed, not handled for a time.

I would, if let, slam shut this opening sight
His hand prevailed, with all His strength and might.
His voice impresses love towards my mind
'Allow Me child, to show you what I find.

His voice impresses love towards my mind
'Allow Me child, to show you what I find.
'And have no fear that seeing, I will then accuse
I will transform the damaged life to one of use.

This sludge is what remains of things now past
of understandings from a childish mind which must not last'.

'Behold I've made a new creation out of you
and I have called you, to a purpose sound and true.
knowing with conviction you are My perfect choice
without you doing anything but submitting to My voice'.

'And I will cleanse this vessel by the washing of the Word
yet, you will know My love for you in ways not heard.
no shame, but grace and mercy paid your debt
and you can rise again in strength to follow yet'.

'Beloved, let Me whisper this My name for you
Beloved, nothing that you've done or even yet will do
will separate you from this place so near to Me
Beloved, this My love for you, forever it will be'.
