Gomer

You look at me
with that look in your eyes
You swear You're in love.
But how can that be?
You've walked in
so many times
to me in bed with others.
Lovers that I tried to give my heart to
that I tried to fill myself with
so many empty attempts.
And when I ran away
unfaithful as I've been
You went out in search of me.
And with tenderness brought me home
and bandaged my wounds.
I expected the rod
to beat the insolence and lust out of me.
But instead I felt your warm touch
your comforting words
and Your sheer joy to have me home again.
One taste of you was enough
to satisfy me in ways
they never would.
So here I stand
looking into Your blazing eyes
awestruck by Your indescribable love
because I am so unworthy.
