Raymond A. Foss Poems

David, oh David
how I know your sin
your turn to the pleasures
the temptation in your eyes
weakness of the flesh
when sin called you
seeking, pursuing you,
stalking your heart.
a man anointed,
blessed by God

How far the mighty fall
in that moment, instant
weakness, turn to sin
how awesome the cost
the consequence of the choice

Repent, turn back
to God, your loving father
carry the scar, the impediment
the reminder of your breach
your choice, your break
But do good, live right
redeemed by His grace
not your penitence,
merely the sign
of your repentance.

2 Samuel 11-12:24 and Psalm 51
