Redemption

 

Shawshank Redemption Movie Poster

 

Traumatic miscues

Almost lost it all

Throes toward tragedy, sieves sin’s broken agony

Close to death’s final blow

Enemy heavy breathing in my scent

Ready to kill, steal, destroy

Scared

Stranded in plenty offshore fears

Sinking into deep pit; grope around… will imprisoned

 

Dramatic rescues

Utmost Name I call

Shows amnesty; gives within hope and sanity

Knows loves extra mile to go

Befriending me heaving;  my Defense

Steady to give abundant life, heal, free to enjoy

Spared

Granted many more years

Seeking… HE remit;  3 chord strand of rope found -still listened

 

Emphatic breakthroughs

Chose to knock down walls

Dose for remedy, lives again open vitality

Boast in the LORD all the while overflow

Lending openly… to any breathing, grieving, leaving with reluctance

Mending to live, yield, see an envoy

Cared

Openhanded compassion toward tears

Blinking…  Keep lit…  faith, hope, and love abound until arisen

 

Isaiah 44:22

²² I have swept away your offenses like a cloud,
    your sins like the morning mist.
Return to me,
    for I have redeemed you.”
