Chosen
Though I’d not known of her before
She came to ask a favor for
Her homeland lay in deep despair
She sought a space for healing prayer
My soul came forth; agreed that day
For I deeply felt the need to pray
Much had changed in this new land
Hidden purpose, beyond my plan
We gathered close, seven seats
Joined in God, our twin heart beats
Direction came: Reach forth into
This circle where God’s power moved
Cold fire filled my once numb limbs
I felt the help my hands could bring
Lord, I feel you through my arms
Power to heal such tragic harms
A reply came strongly; I was blessed
A deep-held knowing, a nod of yes
You’re here despite my lack of worth?
I’ve been derailed since my very birth!
A voice came forth, grace from sin
An exchange ensued deep within
These lips have lied a thousand times…
All men whisper tales, truths disguised
Your penance paid when your spirit cried
But my hands have thieved from men of trust…
No man is free of deeds unjust
Forgive yourself, an act you must
I’ve harmed this body, no longer pure…
No man escapes the world’s allure
Your heart is mine, of this I’m sure
Thank you, God, for choosing me…
My dear, you see what they do not see
It’s clear to you; You belong to Me
