Him by Ben Neiser
Aug 16, 2023
He reads the Word each day to be reminded
In disbelief sitting in Your presence
Drawing from the Well of Your kindness
Quenching his insatiable thirst for penance
He gives others the grace that they don’t deserve
Leaving none for himself to be given
Making amends for a union he can not preserve
Ignoring that he has been forgiven
He sings the loudest about You
Attempting to silence the lies that shout
Firmly proclaiming the Truth
Raising his shaking hand with self doubt
He lets go of the temporal holding on to forever
Navigating the already not yet
Forgetting what he should remember
And remembering what he should forget
He strains to become more of Your reflection
Not getting to the finish line any faster
Most call him Christian
But others call him Pastor
