Constant Love

I run, I hide, I fight, I cower

Yet You remain the same.

Here again, on my face,

Old resurfacing, history repeating.

Shame and guilt again choke me,

Yet You have not changed.

I change, I grow, I slide, I duck

I fall and hit the bottom again

But You are relentless, endless

In Your pursuit of my wayward heart.

Fear and self-hate again blind me

Yet You give sight to the unseeing.

I flee, I rage, I sin, I stumble

Like a child learning to walk,

Yet You pick me up again.

You never stop loving me,

Whom others may shun and reject.

Still You delight in me

And call me Your own.

Now, a change, a chance, a choice

To trust You and not me

To let go of that which hinders

And believe Your constant love.

Now, it is time. To cross over

To the other side where

Trust and perfect love

Will carry me.
