Love's Mercy..'Taken' Poem by Sharon Smith

Suddenly...swept up and taken
Lord, where is this I be
there is someone..kneeling on the floor
Is this all I am to see?

My head feels very strange this Time
Oh Lord..what is this I see?
The very soul that was before You
is joined here now to me!

Although I do not know this soul
I know it now..Oh so well
What is this now You do to me
Please...quickly Lord do tell!

I hear their thoughts..I know somehow
Oh..I feel their pain
They are hurting..oh so much now
Lord..please let me refrain!

No! ..let me stay here now
as my soul for them now weeps
I feel I need to plead for them
as their pain into me seeps.

You have blended with the both of us..
I can feel their pain and fears
Lord You have me here with You
crying someone else's tears!

You listen..so intently
this I strongly feel..
You are feeling from this heart now
whilst in front of You they kneel.

You are also on the other side
Oh now I start to see
Oh Lord..my breath be taken by
how powerful that You be!

Now I understand..I see
This is what You do
What better way to show Thy mercy
than to know their feelings..true.

You stand in front..of Yourself
and all of this You feel
Their feelings must be heartfelt
their repentence..oh so real.

Your judgements and Your mercy
this I have been shown
Your righteousness...and Your Truth
more than anything this world's known!

Here I am..back again
Looking out..up at the skies
So many feelings coming down
from the tears still in my eyes.

Thankyou Lord!
