Rescued
(My First Shakespearean Sonnet)

CLICK ON ARROW For The Poet's Reading of "Rescued"

The love of loves rescued my long lost soul
From darkest sin my soul was saved that day
Oh glorious grace that pulled me from that shoal
And brought me safe into my Father's way

My earthly path may often bring me down
And block my sight from that which I should do
And hurt my heart and force my face to frown
Until my mind directs me back to you

I'm thankful that God does not turn from me
His steadfast love will always bring me back
My Savior loves and intercedes for me
And God forgives, forgets the things I lack

My name is in his book and so I'll fly
To be with him forever in the sky
