You met me right where I was at.
     In a simple verse about creation.
You knew I was grumpy,
    But Your Word spoke right to my heart.
You reminded me of Your love,
    That You do not abandon Your children.
You were there all the time,
    But I let my self-pity blind my eyes.
You showed me the fig leaves
    I was trying to hide behind.
You forgave me for trying to blame
    Someone else for my feelings.
I tried to know You second-hand,
    My self-righteousess gripping me tight.
Thank You for Your grace,
   You love and Your compassion.
