Where is the Goodness in Me?
I asked my legs as they went astray.
I asked my Hands as they grasped a crumbling world.
I asked my eyes as they looked wayward.
I asked my ears as they listened to the cacophony of falsehood.
I asked my mind as it thought the perverse thoughts,
Pervading my heart with the darkest of darks.
Yet somewhere in my heart, amidst the darkness,
There I heard a small voice.
‘All your abilities have clothed your heart in darkness.
Your goodness resides in your heart, hidden and weak.
Get the light; get the light of Jesus Christ.
Let him brighten your heart with his love,
Let his power strengthen your heart.
Then the goodness of your heart will lead you.
Your mind will silence the perverted thoughts.
Your ears will hear his encouraging words.
Your eyes will look through a lens of love.
Your hands will hold onto steadfastness.
