Christian Poetry: 'Miracle'
Forgiveness is a beautiful, wonderful miracle
I wrote this poem to put into words how God's forgiveness is a mind-boggling, beautiful miracle. For who would die for their enemy's crimes? We were the guilty ones, "but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8, ESV).
How beautiful, how wonderful
The miracle of forgiveness
To recline in the assurance
That your dark stains have been erased
To feel all the weights lifting off
And a holy peace encompass
Your frightened soul that's just needing
Release from the grip of guilt's chains
How beautiful, how wonderful, the miracle
How beautiful, how wonderful
The miracle of forgiveness
To receive God's unleashed favor
Engulfing you like a cloud
To know love is ever constant
Even when we don't return it
And our lives are clanging symbols
That, above our words, speak much too loud
How beautiful, how wonderful, the miracle
How beautiful, how wonderful
The miracle of forgiveness
To surrender life to the Hand
That paints your soul a brighter hue
To close your tired, heavy eyes
And absorb this night's stillness
With the knowing that tomorrow
God's mercies will be new
