Our Personal Baggage

For parents aren’t perfect
They come with their baggage
May kids grow, self-examine
To avoid long-term damage.

But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.

When failing, we do wrong
Try to bury, in shame
Then, blame on another
While lies excuses, we proclaim.

When my heart, is overwhelmed
Lead me, to the rock
That is higher than I
My shelter… You unlock.

We’re made to give thanks
Praise God’s Holy Name
Yes, whatever our lot
Be grateful, all the same.

Like the Psalmist of old
We cry out, poor and needy
Do preserve us, O God
Save your servants, our entreaty.

This Christmas, remember
The gift that God gave
His beloved dear Son
To seek and to save.

In God’s Vine, keep abiding
As His branch, bearing fruit
Stay dependent, keep praying
Christ-likeness, your pursuit.

Remember our brethren
In starvation and need
Persecuted, forgotten
Daily, do intercede.

For You call me to partner
In Your image I’m made
To pray without ceasing
And see lives, remade.
