| | This has been on my heart for a few days and I finally got around to writing it. I am NOT a poetry genius, nor do I have a 'knack' for it. But I did pen this and I'm quite happy with it. Any comments would be most appreciated.
HOW COULD YOU BEAR IT?
How could You,
back in the days of Eden,
bear to watch them share
the forbidden fruit.
How could You
endure the sorrow of
searching the garden,
when You alread knew
where they were hidden.
They've sinned, oh Lord.
Your beloved children, Your delight,
have disobeyed the one command
you ever gave them. And now they
must be punished.
How could You
speak when they cowered in fear,
fear of You. The One who gave
them everything and never caused
them harm. "All of that," You say,
Your heart broken. "All of that
must change."
How could You
force from Your lips curses
of hardship and heavy labor,
of intense pain and suffering.
How could You
watch as their heads hang in
utter shame and guilt for their sin.
As you watch them turn from their
perfect home, the home You made.
That wonderfully deep fellowship
with you, the Almighty, would never
be known again. So was the entrance
of sin and the beginning of Your sorrow.
How could You, oh God,
How could You bear it? |
