That Should be Me…

Photo taken from internet.

When I was still a kid
 I only know you by name
and by what other people say about you.
But deep inside me
I don’t really know who You are.

As I grow up and reminisce on my past
I realized I haven’t been a good child.
I've been rude,disrespectful in spite of
the good values my parents taught me.

But I was amazed as I was reminiscing
I remember how I always call Your name
whenever I regretted what I have done.
Is that one of Your many ways to show me
Your gift of undeserved grace?

I stumble and fall
I tried to run from You
yet through it all You never let go of me.
Looking at the cross I remember that should be me
Nailed on it and bleeding so badly.
That should be me taking all the insults from the crowd.
But despite my unfaithfulness to You
You still sacrifice Your  life just to save me.

Whenever I’m in great pain I’m always asking you,
doubting that You don’t care to listen to my cries at all.
Maybe because I've not been good enough
that’s why you leave me dying alone.
But forgive me for thinking that way
I was blinded by my sins.
Through all of these You still bring light into my life.

Here I am,from all the pains.
You teach me how to surrender to You.
Now life is so different.
Your words are my strength.
The more I read them,the more I crave.
How blessed we are to be loved by You.
How happy we become to receive undeserved grace from You
Let us carry our cross with Joy as we follow You
Our Lord,Our Savior.
