MERCY INCARNATE

Folder: 
JOURNAL #39

I wept for joy
as the joy in me
reciprocated
to weep back
its own golden tears
of raining grace
and such great convergence
amid that vast flood gate of
feelings
filled me deeper somehow
I am a poor vessel
yet God pours with his love
into me
so much mercy
I do not deserve
but because he is 'Mercy Incarnate'
still he lavishes
this ever aging fallible vessel
with the tireless abundance
of his overwhelming love
of course I am deeply
awed
in a wave of near inexplicable
thankfulness
but the words to better explain
my joyous weeping dilemma
drown in my humbled tears
before the words can be
summoned
to be written upon
even this page............
