O! Moses, Moses, you killed a man!
So did Paul!
So did King David!
Joseph’s kin
You sold your baby brother into slavery
To the Egyptians.
David, did you not commit adultery?
Did you not even approach her
In her time of uncleanliness?
Yet… I do remember
It was the Philistines,
The Amonites,
The Amelekites
The Moabites
The Assyrians
The Babylonians
And the Amorites
Who were given unto the wrath of God.
When Israel had put off sinning
He was made clean.
He no longer was under the curse
For his sins were purged.
My sins are purged.
Therefore, why do I still suffer
Like I were a sinner?
Why do I get continually attacked by my enemies?
Have I murdered?
Have I?
No…
Have I stolen?
No…
Have I destroyed?
Have I?
No…
Why do I continually get attacked?
A prophet told me God would touch me.
Please, Father, come soon!
Touch me and heal me, and cleanse me soon!
I can bear no more shame.
I can only be right with God.
