Mattering

Who shall bring any charge against God's elect?  It is God who justifies.  Who is to condemn?  Christ Jesus is the one who died - more than that, who was raised - who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.   Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?  Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? -- Romans 8:33-35

For the burned out, for the burned down,
For the hopeless, blinded and lost
In a fog of circumstance,
For the weary and the worn,
And most of all, for the failures,
The fallers, the stumblers,
The ones who never seem to get it right,
Who can't make happy talk,
Who know the great darkness
In the basement of the heart's dungeon

For us

The depressed, the despondent,
The dependent, the dishonest,
The losers and the liars,
Hypocrites, and holy rollers,
The abandoned, the apathetic,
The indifferent, the indignant,
The lonely and the loveless,
The ugly and the unloveable,
The haters and the hurters,
The beaters and the beggers

Name your poison.
Here is the antidote,
The pain-killer,
The cure.
It does not matter what I am,
Only what He is. 
It does not matter where I am,
Only where He is.
It does not matter what I've done,
Only what He has done.
It does not matter where I have been,
Only where He is taking me.
