My Cross To Claim

As days fall behind me
Submissive perceptions relay my failure
Mockery resides in your courts
From the mouth that spat in your face
Yet, forgiveness lit the flame
Mercy you’ve shown is mercy unknown
Hiding in the shadow of an opulent grave
Careless was this man
Illusive to the gathered
Abusive with your favor
Oblivious to your word
Trembling lies at
The foothill of glory
From the generation
Entrenched with change
Change me
Your love surpasses the collapse of every man
