Soul-bath

by Heather - Taurus

the pain seeps through my soul
colliding into contrast
with Your healing
as i drip my doubts and fears and lies
and all impure or unclean
before You
You are never angry
instead You gather them all
and forgive my sins
washing me clean
straight into purity

You heal the hurt
of broken, unfinished dreams
and mend the heart
that was torn
You build up visions inside of me
plans to carry me into 
everlasting joy

suddenly i open my eyes
and daylight overwhelms my sight
no longer the inky black distress
i felt moments before
You have met with me
quietly yet so profoundly strong

flinging all my humanness
to the furthest corners of the heavens
now i feel complete

You've washed my soul to healing.

Reason for writing:

    i wrote this after praying one day to God -- it was a prayer in which i surrendered everything I was feeling; for the first time I was real with God and didn't hold anything back.  I know He knows it all anyways, but telling Him accomplishes much more!!  I felt cleansed and renewed...like my soul had just been given a bath after months of not washing.
