Subject(s): Christianity; Grief; Sin; Sorrow; Sadness


I sought Him and found Him.
He suddenly appeared before me,
His head was bowed,
His face was turned from me --
He knew I was there.
I called His name softly, "Jesus."
He turned His head slightly,
I could see His cheek.
His eyes were closed.
A teardrop came from beneath
The quivering lashes
And fell to the ground.
My heart melted.
I dropped to my knees,
Buried my face in my hands --
"Lord, Thou knowest the sin
That has caused Thy grief
And separated Thy face from me.
Wilt Thou now, O Son of God,
Remove the guilty stain?"
I felt His hand on my head
For a moment; then I looked
Through the tears and
He was not there, but
His peace like a river
Flooded my soul.
