Holly Poetry

My heart was tempted
My eyes saw and wanted
My feet went, my hands took
What was not meant to be mine

This human nature
My terrible nature
Is not what I want
Can I overcome it?

You were brutally beaten
And nailed to the cross
Placed in a tomb
Left to rot

But You rose in 3 days,
The gosples remind us,
For the glory of the King
And the saving of our souls

My heart breaks
And tears fall
I raise my hands
As I fall to the floor

Surrounded by things of this world
But I’m not of this world anymore
Now that You dwell in this temple,
I know I can overcome

So I rise, made new by the One
Who died and rose
For the glory of the King
And the saving of our souls
