"Death of My Flesh"

A scarred eye which witnessed much cruelty, desires mercy.
An offset jaw spoken so much pride, desires humility.
A broken heart that held much hatred, desires love.

Flesh beaten,
bones broken,
spirit shaken,

Heart left in depression,
surrounded by darkness,
compassion we are missing.

humanity turns to find comfort in sin.

We seek hatred,
we seek pride,
we seek peace with dirt in our eyes.

A mask with a smile,
with a spirit exiled.

True acceptance is found,

in the death of my flesh.

Do not go with a heart in vain,
Lest you suffer under scornful rain.

Go with a heart in Jesus's name.

Acceptance is denying the body,
peace found in acceptance,
love found in peace,
hope found in love.

This hope is the light of humanity.

The light in a world surrounded by darkness,

is a bright light through all the noise.
When the light shines, darkness will fade and the noise silenced.

I leave my flesh, to be born again.

Help me LORD, to commend my spirit,

into His hands.

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. ”
Psalm 1:1

“For sin shall not have dominion over you:
for ye are not under the law, but under grace. “
Romans 6:14
