The darkness swallows me
Telling me all that I have done wrong
Beating and bruising me
I cannot find a way out of this pit.
They come at me from all sides
Spewing their flames
Engulfing me in a rage
It seems perilous and hopeless

I curl my body into a tight ball
Hoping, praying that these demons
Will flee from me, but they don't
They can't touch me- But I hear them
They whisper lies to me
Telling me how worthless I am
They scream and hurl insults at me
Saying that I am not worth saving.

As I sink into their lies, I hear a roar.
A roar filled that is fierce and filled with rage.
"Don't touch her, she is MINE"
Shrieking, tumbling- the demons flee
I look up wondering what has happened
What became of those thoughts?

As I look to the side- A Lion
A great Lion has entered His domain
Bearing His teeth and shaking His mane
I feel an overwhelming sense of dread.
When He said 'She is Mine'
Did He mean I was His to punish?
I have done nothing but wrong in my life
I am not worthy to be worth anything

I tremble as He approaches
His velvet paws never making a sound
Shutting my eyes tightly, I await the final blow
However, What I feel is something completely different.

I feel strong, yet soft arms embrace me
I feel the feeling of overwhelming Love
Picking me up from the harsh ground
And carrying me close to His Heart
The Lion has made Himself into a Man
A Beautiful Man who looks like He's been slain
And yet His Strength is overwhelming me
I feel so protected and cherished.

I feel the Strength of His arms embracing me
I smell the sweet fragrance of One
Who has been in the vineyard, Preparing
Yes, Preparing for my arrival…

Me? Why me? Why is He working for me?
Why is He protecting me? Didn't He see what I've done?
If He knew what all I've been through,
Surely, yes, Surely He would turn His back on me.

"Jesus- why? Why do you hold onto me?
Didn't you see what I've done? Even things that
I don't even intend to happen. I'm worthless!
I can't do anything right! Leave me- I'm not
Worth any of Your precious time."

As I cry out my plea- I see his stern
Yet gentle eyes gaze deeply into mine.
His hold never loosens- in fact it tightens.
He puts His lips to my forehead; and I feel
All my strength drain out of me.
I am overwhelmed by the Love that's being
Shown to me- yes to ME! Why Me?

"Dearest one, it is true. You have made mistakes.
You have tripped, you have stumbled
You have even hurt Me a time or two.
But I hold fast unto you, Dear one.
I died for you; I bled for you
I told you that I would never leave you.
You say you can't do anything right
Then let Me teach you.
The world was not made in a day-
No it was Seven. Do you really think
I would expect you to be perfect
When I know the world is chaotic?
I am patient with you; But you must be trained
And I will only be too happy to be your trainer.
I will bring you up, My daughter, My sister, My love."

He lifts my chin up and looks at me with stern
Yet loving eyes, that brings creation to life.
"I bled and died for you- yes for YOU.
My blood is worth more than the Universe
Can even be worth in gold- in riches.
If I paid with My own blood for you-
yes for YOU…
Don't you EVER call yourself Worthless."
