How can You love me?
i’m a whore, s p r e a d i n g my legs to every idol that comes along, seeking the pleasure, the love that only You can give.
i turn my face towards wicked men who will beat me and rape me, yet You promise riches and love that won't fail. Why do i not see that? Why do You love me? An idiot, a wretch who has blinded himself, attempting to forget my scars. Why did You save me? i spat on Your face, i beat You, i stabbed You, i laughed and joined the orgy of the unholy while You watched, bleeding and broken...and loving me.
You unleashed wrath on Your own Son, and You took the full blunt of what i deserved. i was the murderer, the adulterer, i deserved that punishment! But You took it with no complaints.
You defeated Death, a foe greater than any giant, more vile than any dragon, to save this damsel. You came to my den of thieves, my bordeaux of demons and You grabbed me and pulled me out of my sin-stained blankets and You confessed Your love, Your perfect and amazing love! and You told me Your promises, and I knew You would keep them. You gave Your life and Your love reached past even death.
i will give You my life, my hand in marriage! You, my knight, have won this maiden's hand! i still don't understand Your love, why You love me or what You see in me, but THANK YOU! i do not need to understand Your love, because simply knowing it is there is enough. Take this life, my Husband, and lead me to Your kingdom!
