Change of Heart

Those days when I had yet to grow old

I was warned of your world

With plots and dark hearts

Warped minds, spirits sold

I met you with concern

Much was at risk

I feared who you were

Would steal all I’d learned

I feared the great cost

And wished to pass by

To not muddle in your mud

But tip toe across 

 

I thought you were viral

Infectious and catching

I had to wash away

From your downward spiral

You outstretched your hand

As I ran into the ground

You were indiscriminate

You were gentle and kind

What played with my head

Was I saw Jesus in you

But you don’t

You just have you instead

What once was bold drew dim and faint

I didn’t see what you have

I saw what you didn’t

I was the sinner and you were the saint

I now see more of why He cares

He reached in to this pit

Because you are in there

I wish to thank you for helping me see

For giving me more sight

For showing me his heart

But I know it won't translate so easily

So I'll just pray

That you'll meet Him one day

I'll take your hand, like you did today

"A life for a life" I'll say
