Soul Shower

Posted in Inspirational

This was in my Devotional Book this morning. It is taken from The Message by Eugene H. Peterson.

 

Generous in love -God give grace!

Huge in mercy - wipe out my bad record.

Scrub away my guilt, soak out my sins in your laundry.

I know how bad I've been; my sins are staring me down.

You're the One I've violated, and you've seen it all,

seen the full extent of my evil.

You have all the facts before you;

whatever you decide about me is fair.

I've been out of step with you for a long time...

What you're after is truth from the inside out.

Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life. 

Soak me in your laundry and I'll come out clean,

scrub me and I'll have a snow-white life.

Tune me in to foot-tapping songs,

set thses once-broken bones to dancing.

Don't look too close for blemishes,

give me a clean bill of health.

God, make a fresh start in me,

shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life

Don't throw me out with the trash,

or fail to breathe holiness in me.

Bring me back from gray exile,

put a fresh wind in my sails! 

Give me a job teaching rebels your way

so the lost can find their way home.

Commute my death sentence, God,

my salvation God, and I'll sing anthems to your

life-giving ways.

Unbutton my lips, dear God;

I'll let loose with your praise.

 

My prayer is that this will bless someone today. May all who read it (and those who don't) have a terrific day and be blessed by our most gracious Heavenly Father.
