Poem - Worthy

Following on from my previous post, Worthy, I thought I'd share a poem I wrote. Again, please forgive the overuse of the word "worthy", but I feel that it is needed in order to illustrate the point!

Worthy

Jesus, You are worthy.

But then, You always have been.

How dare I stand in front of You

And sing that You are worthy of my praise and adoration?

Lord I should be grateful; thankful

And I am.

Lord, I am eternally thankful

That You laid down Your life for me

You made me worthy to sing Your praises.

You made me worthy through Your grace and mercy.

How dare I say that You are worthy

You are worthier than anything in this world

And I demean Your power; Your glory

By implying that You could ever be anything less.

Holy One, I apologise

You are worthy

But You also made me worthy

When I was not.

I was a sinner

Unworthy even to look upon Your face

And now, Jesus

Because You loved me

I know You

And You have made me worthy

To sing Your praise

And to adore You.
