in the garden from the start,
we were one.
You, me, he, she.
WE.
US.
TOGETHER.
HARMONY.
UNITY.
oh but he&she fell.
they fell away.
they chose 'i, mine' more.
more and yet so much less.
me me me instead of we three.
ashamed. alone. dead. dying.
he&she were now just two.
two broken, fractured parts attempting to equal
one
and yet falling short every time.
too fallen. too separate.
two.
a piece of the equation,
a piece of 'we' is no more.
broken. severed. cut off.
'we' is through.
oh but my soul.
my soul longs for You.
my soul, the depths of me cries out for wholeness, unity, belonging, freedom,
YOU.
You is the piece necessary.
everything missing in him, her, me is You.
oh but where?
where are You?
how, after all that has been said&done,
how can it be 'we' again?
Oh God.
oh God.
help me.
i cannot reach.
You and i cannot be.
for You are infinitely holy.
therefore, i cannot be with You eternally.
oh but wait!
what's this?
who's He?
who is this Jesus the Nazarene?
i hear He died on that hill, calvary.
the blood thirsty killers
nailed Him to a tree.
God…
Your Son?
You sent Him…
for me?
Oh my God…
the penalty He paid
as He hung on the tree
was meant to set me free….
my God…
my God, You are rich in love.
You are abundant in mercy.
oh Jesus, sent to the cross
to set me free,
defeated death
for life eternally.
what wondrous love is this!
the Way, the Truth, the Life…
now i and You can become 'we'
because He paid the price
to set me free
and let me be
WHOLE.
NEW.
REDEEMED.
RIGHTEOUS.
PURE.
CLEAN.
i am His and He is mine.
till death do us meet,
forever.
