Forgiveness Undeserved
by louis gander © 2017http://www.ganderpoems.org
I don't deserve forgiveness and
I don't deserve His love.
I don't deserve His blessings that
He showers from above.
My greatest deeds have missed His mark.
My works were just my will.
My life appears so very dark.
Guilt haunts me even still.
Except for Jesus on the cross,
except for loving grace,
except forgiveness undeserved -
a hope? No, not a trace.
