The Hammer

Here is a poem that I wrote a couple years back, about our Lord's unfathomable mercy.

The Hammer

As You cry out to me now
I take the hammer in my hand
As You plead for my love
I hold the nail and strike again

Lord, take this hammer from my hand
And remove these stains from my soul
With the wounds that I've created
Take Your blood and make me whole

For so many broken people
You wore a crown of thorns
With blood dripping from your brow
You bowed Your head and it was done

Yet I raise my arm up high
To strike another blow
Lord, I cannot save myself
Please let your grace and mercy flow
