Love Only Justifies Love

oh God forgive me for rank bitterness
for insults hurled at me from cars for 
standing in the rain for hours and being drenched

in the snickering driver's ill intent
and for my taking offense at everything
in a world so full of it.

oh God bring me in from the rain

from the self accumulated pain
I wont let go of because it seems so unresolved
forgive me for the wounds that just wont heal

for everything I feel when thrashing
through the world's dense gloom
I know that you have felt it all before

and so much more than I ever could
I know as hard as it may seem
the only feeling I should feel

is Love through you
all this I know
for every blow on blow.
