my stubborn heart turns
from sweet pursuit, yet You move
ever toward me.

For Your glory

my Savior, You came
in glory and for gladness,
reconciling all.

life lived by faith;
Love's sweet gift lays waste to sin's
insidious dark.

up shot the Root, the
Stem; born man, yet Savior. My
Ransomer Server.

in my sinful bent
i'm not left alone. I hear,
"come, draw near to Me."

my consolation!
a gift undeserved; oh
Christ's joyous exchange.

Your contempt for me
builds. Like a force, I feel it
gathering pressure.

You came rescuing...
catching me up into Your
persistant advent.

(for sarah)

buoyant, you rise. a
life abandoned called
perfect; reclaimed.

evoking awe, i
find my bit part, conceived
in Your whole. Wonder.
