Once while sitting
alone in my room
Reading and writing
a psalm
I felt a quick jart
Thrust into
my heart
Its removal felt
more like a balm
It was nothing like
I'd ever known
And while still
in my seat
I found that I wasn't
alone
"I wounded and healed
you so no one else could"
I heard as if with
my own ears
Then saw Him
on the cross
His side jabbed
by a similar spear
Blood flowed out like water
Bones exposed to all men
"Forgive! They know not what they do"
Then He looked straight at me
To the One who makes all
things brand new"
