The Loved Adulteress

I was asked to give my testimony this week, and after struggling to put into words my love story with my savior, this is what finally came out.

The Loved Adulteress

At the age of three I was marked

For His kingdom- the daughter of the king

In my heart, the Spirit sparked

And I responded to His call with bended knee

Within He placed a heart for song

And the desire to praise my King

Life was hard yet still I clung

To the One who had set me free

But one day the pain went deep

And fear through my heart did seep

And although His praises were on my tongue

In my heart to other’s I sung

I was looking for value and love

In those around – in man

You see I am the adulterous woman

When even though she had loves embrace

Chose to look into another’s face

Yet He stood by, faithful and true

Waiting for me to see His gentle clue

That my value is in Him alone

And no matter where I looked

I was left feeling empty and alone

Despite ever growing fear,

He gently whispered in my ear

“Come my daughter, I am right here”

So I responded again to His call

As deep calls to deep, my spirit lives

And in Him I know there is truth

That He is mine and I am His

The struggles have not left me yet

Still I get confused and my eyes fall

But when I quiet my soul

There is His gentle voice, calling me

Our story is of love so deep and true

That it has withstood the test

Of one who is unfaithful at best

But it is not over by far

Because it is by His grace I am here at all.
