21/4

'oh why my soul,
are you downcast?' ,
for I am lost,

no longer steadfast.

deep inside,

dwells a beast,

still, and quiet,

preying on its feast.

this soul is loose,

moving with no direction,

seething, crawling,
shackled by my affliction.

but then comes grace,
unasked, undeserved,
breaking me free,
so unreserved.

not in glory,

but full humility,

my savior Jesus,
paid it all for me.
