Dawn & Dusk

Like a bludgeon
Condemnation aims low
Trying to cripple us
Our progress to slow

It drills in thoughts
Hoping to fix them in place
Telling us we’re not worthy
To finish our race

With every blow we allow
Our self-esteem becomes distorted
Our confidence fractures
The supporting structure contorted

But just because you fell
It doesn’t mean it is the end
You only lose
If you choose not to get up again

Don’t stay on the ground
You can finish your race
Block the savage blows of condemnation
With the eternal truth of His grace
