"Stop You Dead" Encounter

He has read your mail
He has called your bluff
He has seen your cards
And they’re not enough
He has heard your thoughts
Watched your darkest deed
But He loves you still
And would have you freed.
You have tried them all
Silly hopes of men
Now you’re sitting still
Facing Him again
And so tired of games
And the constant fret
Of life’s vain treadmill
Just to gain and get
Is He speaking now
To your inner man
To break with it all
If you will, you can.
And a moment’s fear
Says you’re good as dead
Just a loathesome fool
With a swollen head
But He speaks for sure
And it’s to your heart
“I have plans for you
Now’s the time to start.”
Just like that dear Lord
Will you drop the list
Of the hearts I hurt
And the grace I missed?
“I am sovereign, Son
And my mercy stands.
And your slate wiped clean
By my nail-pierced hands.”

Sometimes this is exactly what we need!
