I have felt discarded by many and misunderstood
as if I was a man on the side of the road left for dead.
Stripped of his belongings, his confidence, and identity.
Left alone to deal with life’s pain.
Counselor after counselor from such a young age,
What is wrong with this boy who is so much trouble in my grade?
I am grateful to say that this man you see
was once that ungrateful boy who had been through a mess
Unfortunately I hoped he was gone but a part stayed instead
Everyone denied, judged, and treated me wrongly
Just to have found a man who had seen my pain strongly
He said, I see how much your hurting, it’s easy to see.
I’m the one that can help you it’s me you seek.
This man was not human and everything I need.
You wish for a lot and pray and think this doesn’t work
Until God sends an angel to prove He’s at work.
Discarded I was and so astray
But this day He saw me and even in my dismay.
I was then told of a healing that I may seek
That causes my worst wounds to reach their peak
I knew it was my time to face my worst pain
and I now know a Healer who shows me The Way
At my worst I found the best of humanity
A Good Samaritan I tried to seek
And I finally found him and found out He was Me.
We had much in common and he knew my pain.
Because earlier in life he had been through the same
It takes the broken to understand the shame
That this abuse carries and the weight that remains
My Good Samaritan saw me
And with the most he could do
He sought me and bought me and tended to my wounds
Today is a new day and the healings not done
I couldn’t be more grateful for the son that He Won.
So with this new day comes a reminder of pain
Of once I walked in No longer my name.
You would of thought I was broken
and you would be right
This was just so you may see the light
Shine through me Oh Light that they may see
That they too have A Good Samaritan
That died on a tree.
This was not the end
but only the beginning
of every good thing
that you may see and you may seek
You must know this now when it snows
It is just to remind you that His beauty grows.
So as I conclude
I hope this finds you
In your coldest of seasons
and warms your heart
The winter is over
The Son is now here
Rejoice with me
and hold Him dear.
He did this for you
So you may see
His unending love.
Love,
