Hey, y’all!!

So I wrote a poem, inspired by two popular lines from The Chosen, “Look up” and “You are mine.”

I’ll take comments and any critiques that you have!! (Plus, if you think it’s too short, I do have another stanza that I’m thinking about adding)

 

I was stuck in the mire,

Unable to escape.

Trapped in sinful desire,

My chains I could not break.

But Christ reached down to save me,

And pulled me from the mud.

His mercy now has freed me,

From every sin I have done.

He simply beckons me,

 

“Look up child,

Into your Savior’s eyes.

Look up child,

I brought you from death to life.

Look up child,

You are mine.”

 

I know I am forgiven,

I know that I’ve been freed,

But when I give in to temptation,

Guilt returns to haunt me.

Yet the Father calls me home,

Into His embrace.

I fall into His arms,

Pleading for forgiveness.

And He says, lovingly,

 

“Look up child,

Into your Savior’s eyes.

Look up child,

I brought you from death to life.

Look up child,

You are still mine.”

 

In this world of darkness,

False pathways abound,

But I know my Savior is,

The true north that I’ve found.

The devil tries to convince me,

That I am not enough.

But the Lord always reminds me,

I am defined by His love.

His voice calls out to me,

 

“Look up child,

Into your Savior’s eyes.

Look up child,

I brought you from death to life.

Look up child,

You are forever mine.

So look to me,

my forever child.”

 

(Don’t feel obligated to reply if you don’t want to. 🙂 )

(Also, I’m thinking to maybe [that’s a very big maybe] add a melody to it.)
