Un

We are failures, one and all, but He has succeeded.

Un (Spring 2010)

Un-diligent am I
Unreliable
Unfaithful.
Unable to keep promises;
I just can’t follow through.

Untrustworthy am I
Unloving
Ungracious.
I tell you that I love you
but don’t act as if I do.

Unhappy am I.
Why can’t I be better?
Why can’t I be better?
Why?

Unlovely was He.
Unattractive
Un-respected.
but unending is His love
in the midst of his great pain.

Undaunted was He
as he died for the unlovely
as he died for the unfaithful
as he carried all my burdens
as he took what was my due.

Un-guilty am I
as I make him Lord and Master.
Un-anguished am I
as he takes my by the hand.
Unshackled am I
as he leads me in his victory
Lord, happy am I
when I am not me, but you!
