July 7–13 ❘ Redeemed
Redeemed
I am failing
like Lucifer child of dawn
beloved by Father and Son
I am fallen
like Eve like Adam
in a garden of stasis
I am damned to a standstill
like Alma sobbing
O Jesus thou Son of God
have mercy on me
I am desperate
like Abish yelling to the people
grasping the queen’s fingers
I reach out reach up
like all the works of God’s hands
groping for redemption
I am not Perdition
over whom the Heavens weep
and weep and weep
