Those Forgiven Much, Love Much

THE UNFATHOMABLE VASTNESS 
OF HIS MERCY

One day
the Lord’s long, long arm
reached all the way
from Heaven into Hell
to grant a blessing
upon a beloved child
in the hour
of her gravest sin

In great despair
she couldn’t imagine
a way out, still

she was moved
by the unfathomable vastness
of His mercy
and the awesome wonder
of undeserved love
unconditional
and full of grace

This much beloved child
remembered hearing
about the woman
from ages past
who wept bitterly
upon His dusty feet
and ever so humbly
wiped away tears
with her dark
and silken hair

Like her,
she understood
one forgiven much
loves much

She is grateful
to be drinking of His mercy
drinking His forgiveness

drinking in His love
