Poem: The pain

The pain -
Too much to bear.
Lost and lonely;
The wounds deep.
A broken covenant;
A sinful heart.
I pray:
Dear Lord,
Please forgive me.
Heal my broken soul.
Breath life,
into my desolate spirit.
Lift the burden,
of the harrowing darkness,
of Godly sorrow,
from my shoulders.
Replace it,
with the merciful yoke,
of the light,
of faith, hope and charity -
The perfect love of Christ.
Made manifest,
in the creation and fall,
and in his infinite Atonement.
That I might
raise my head high
and praise thee.
Sustained and magnified;
Sanctified and purified -
In thy grace.
