THE ATONEMENT FEE

By !!! A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD !!! •
IN THE LONELIEST HOUR ONE CAN SEE HIM SELF COMPLETELY.
ONCE AMERCED IN SELF-DENIAL MY HEART & MIND SANK MOST
DISCRETELY
BUT NOW FROM ALL OUR TIME APART
I FIND MY SELF AGAIN SEEKING FOR YOUR SALVATION
FOR THE LIGHT OF YOUR TRUTH IS LIKE THE SUN TO THE DARK
& IM BUT A FLOWER WILTING FROM THIS GRAVE DEVASTATION
THINKING OF ALL THAT I’VE DESIRE
IN THE MIDST OF SUCH PAIN
ONLY BURNED ALL MY EXISTENCE LIKE WILD FIRE
& UNCOVERED THE LIFE THAT I LIVED WAS TRUELY IN VAIN
AS WITHIN THE MIRRORS OF MEMORY CONSTANTLY TAUNTING
THESE PICTURES OF THY PAST UNFORGIVEN
PICK AT THY MIND WITH A PREVALENT HAUNTING
FOR NOW I SEE FROM THIS DISPAIR & HELPLESS PLEA
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE FORGIVEN
A RIGHT TO BE FREE
SO I MUST LIFT MY SELF FROM ALL THIS GRIEVING
FOR THIS CHRIST PAYED THE ATONEMENT FEE
& FOREVER IN MY HEART HE IS LIVING
