Make Me New!

Healing?
Don’t bother me!
Across
these many years
all hope
is gone –
leave me alone!

God, you say?
Where’s he been
all these years?
Life
has been hard
to me
and I
have hardened
to it!

Jesus?
That name
has been
on my lips
countless times –
a name to bless,
you say,
and not to curse?

Jesus!
I’m here
at last!
Make me new!
