There are significant moments of inspiration which need capturing, recording, committing to memory, sharing with others, never to be forgotten. These occur only rarely in my own experience, and I have often failed to do those afore-mentioned things, meaning the spark of the moment is lost, floating somewhere in irretrievable memory-land. BUT … today was an exception, and I happily set down this brief burst of personal illumination so that it may be shared as widely as possible.

The Lamb is slain, His blood is shed
I lay my hand on thorn-crowned head
My stain erased, my shame removed
The Father’s loving-kindness proved
The Spirit draws once-wandering heart
My slate is clean, a brand new start
Estranged no more, beloved child
By grace completely reconciled
