::Mercy, Grace & Love::

Once Again
It’s time for me to write
My heart filled with thought of mix feelings

Over and over again
I wonder about
The Mercy of God
Over my life
Even when I do not deserve His Love
He embraces me like
A mother would Her infant
So close I could fee
His heart beat

His Grace…
So unmeritorious
So much so that every mo
I ask myself
‘Why am I still alive?’
I pretend not to know that
The prayers of sinners
He turns His back to
Yet with great pleading in my heart
I ask him to forgive me

David! A man after God’s heart –
Maybe I am he?
In this generation
Or am just like him?
A perfect sinner
Yet, knows how to get God’s attention
The loneliest hours of my life
Are dedicated to God
This is the only way
I know to get him to listen to me

I can’t ever forget
His Words for me
Saying, ‘A just man falls seven (7) times,
Yet he rises again’
Simple said, ‘A righteous man, is a man who
Is perfected in sin
But he gets back up again [Not remaining in it]

I cry for joy
You know why?
I have Hope
Hope that I can still make heaven
I! A perfect sinner
Yet, God still loves me
If only I can stand for Him
I bet I can say this
‘You are too much Joooo!’

How can I be loved like this?
I can’t stop imagining
His Mercy, Grace and Longsuffering
To make sure I’m saved

Even if my life
Does not speak any good to people
To my God
It’s worth more than the whole earth

How do I know this?
Even with the most corrupt thoughts of my heart
He makes sure that’s where it stops
He gives me better options
And He helps me to carry them out

The list of the time I was
Thinking of a relationship
He brought my way
His daughter to assure me of His Love
When I thought I could not even lead myself
He made me a shepherd of the greatest minds around
When others were looking
He gave me resources to meet needs
And He stood by me to ensure I did it

The enemy thought he was having his way
God was making History
He was writing testimonies
Out of my life

If the Bible was to be edited
My story must definitely
Be one of the new books of the bible
Can you imagine a book of the bible called
Saint Adebowale Jeff Johnson?

You know the most interesting
Part of all of these?
God is not done with me yet
This is just an infinitesimal part
Of His award winning story
This is just act 1, scene 1

I can’t stop to write
About His Mercy, Grace and Love
Because this is what I enjoy
All the days of my life

My father, My creator!
Thank you for your
Mercy, Grace and Love
Over my life!
Thank you Jesus Christ
For the perfect sacrifice!
Bless you Holy Spirit
For helping me not to lose my mind.
Selah
