Poetry-The shadows by Lisa Groen

Perceiving the shadows of my sin

Knowing there’s a better way to live

Here it has been shown to us by his grace

There is no alternative, the answer is to be yielded

 

Can we capture his beauty without doing it harm?

Can we possess its substance, yet find we are disarmed?

Though at times we’ve tried to own it to overcome our storms,

He is seeking me as I’ve looked for him, beyond what was torn

I’ve looked for him, beyond my sin,

My attention to him I give, now yielded.
