J.M.J.
FOREVER AND EVER
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I LET YOU DOWN?
HOW MANY THORNS DID I ADD TO YOUR CROWN?
HOW MANY TIMES GOOD INTENTIONS WERE SPOKEN?
HOW MANY TIMES WERE THERE PROMISES BROKEN?
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I YOUR BODY TASTED?
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I YOUR GRACES WASTED?
HOW MANY TIMES WILL I BE FORGIVEN?
“AS MANY TIMES AS TRUE SORROW IS GIVEN.”
HOW MANY TIMES CAN I TAKE YOU FOR GRANTED
WHEN I SCATTER THE SEEDS THAT YOUR HANDS HAVE PLANTED?
“I WILL HARVEST MY CROP AND CONTINUE TO SOW
AS LONG AS ONE HEART HAS ONE SEED LEFT TO GROW.”
HOW LONG, MY DEAR JESUS, WILL YOUR MERCY ENDURE
FOR A SOUL SO UNGRATEFUL AND SO INSECURE?
“FOREVER AND EVER MY LOVE I WILL SEND;
MY LOVE HAS NO BEGINNING, AND IT WILL HAVE NO END.”
“THY WILL BE DONE”
