All That I Am



All that I am,
sinner,
prideful,
greedy.
I am the one
wandering from the flock,
causing the shepherd
to rescue a rebel.

All that I am,
pompous,
self-righteous,
arrogant.
I am the one
filled with thoughts
of denial
and betrayal.
Still,
He comes into my darkness
and brings His light.

All that I am,
less than I am to be.
He came
to stretch His arms wide
on a barren tree,
because He loves me
despite myself.
