Redeem

Written November 7, 2024

Redeem the years the locusts have eaten.
Redeem the havoc in my soul.
Redeem the misgivings in my body.
Redeem the love that was never shown.

Redeem my failures and past mistakes.
Redeem my propensity to lie.
Redeem my personas and propagandas.
Redeem my inability to die.

Redeem my false witness to your love.
Redeem my nature to hide my pain.
Redeem my righteousness that resists you.
Redeem the little girl inside me that doesn’t know her name.

I will restore to you the years the locusts of have eaten…
Joel 2:25

You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
No longer will they call you Deserted,
or name your land Desolate.
Isaiah 62:3-4
