Poetry is not my thing, but today I was inspired to write. And this is what came out.
He overcame
my grief
my sorrow
my pain
He overcame
my disbelief
my doubt
my disdain
He overcame
my sin
my shame
my chains
The inspiration came while listening to Jeremy Camp's song "Overcome" on Pandora. As his song proclaims, "Savior, worthy of honor & glory. Worthy of all our praise. You overcame! Jesus, awesome in power forever. Awesome & great is Your name. You overcame!"
Thank you, Jesus!
funny, fantastic, and maybe even a bit frustrating at times, too! but who hasn't heard a song, read a book or watched a movie they had heard, read or watched before and come away with something new entirely? if - maybe i should say when - i hear this song today i'll make sure to listen a little bit more closely.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jim!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim! I've heard it a ton on Christian radio, but was inspired by it yesterday. Funny how that happens, huh?
