Touched by grace
i thought he was what i needed
i thought he'd fill my heart
but i needed you always from the start
you made me
you saved me
you gave me love
he looked good in a shirt
but he was without you
he was dirt
i've been touched by grace
changed by god
im running the race
i'll be the victor
god's on my side
i will not hide
he's with me
im not scared
he came in
he made me clean
washed away the dirt
showed me the way
i saw the rays
the sunlight
my lord
i've been touched by love
changed forever
a love like no other
not found in any other
everlasting, wonderful
engulfing, joyful
all i'll ever need
D.S.

It is beautiful!
I like the "dirt" and "shirt" part.
Love the LORD!!
Keep using the gift He's given you.

I think this poem is coherent and for the most part well worded and has a basic unity. One thing that troubles me is the characterizing of the human lover, mistakenly taken at first for the real provider of love, as "dirt." This sounds vindictive, as if there is still some animosity there, which should completely disappear when the true source of all love has been found and is believed in. Could it be that this is all a rationalization to cover a still aching heart?
