Christ Alone

I didn't see Him
But I know He was there,
Walking through the fire
Next to me,
His grace covering
Every touch,
Every wound,
Every scar
As He traveled with me
Through hell,
The blue-white flames
Lapping at my body,
Taller than I was,
Scorching everything around me,
Until they had destroyed
The bed,
The room,
My innocence,
My trust,
Leaving only ashes
In their wake.

But He was there,
In the midst of the inferno,
As it consumed
My world,
Holding me close,
Keeping my spirit safe,
Even as my body was harmed.

I am whole today,
Body,
Mind,
Spirit,
His mercy having
Healed me.

I will never forget
What was done to me,
In that room,
In the dark,
But I will always remember
The Love
My Savior
Has for me,
That with every step
In the fire,
He never once
Let go.
