Relentless

By Tyrell L. Samuels

Can you imagine a Love so unyielding, so adamant in it's purpose, never tiring, never fleeting, a fierce love, unflinching, never ending, overcoming all bounds and obstacles, to gain the apple of it's eye, it's very own prize. Yes, it's the love that saved me, it's the hope in this love that gives me new life to live, new breaths of air to breathe, because...

If there is no hope for me
then condemn the baby's chasity

and take this faith we hold to heart

curse it, and break apart

If there is no hope for me
then we all should worry
that life be fleeting soon and come
flames with no cooling serum.

if there is no hope for me
then monstrous should remain the sea
trapping all mankind in it
all our sins infinite.

if there is no hope for me
then we should not all believe
in a sacrifice, holy atonement
take the power from the sacrement

if there is no hope for me
then all the world should rage and be
all that I am and children suffer
for lusts and illicit lovers

if there is no hope for me
then there is no beauty
that ever came down from heaven's bliss
to prevent this unholy kiss

if there is no hope for me
then all saints should forsake liberty
and dispossess their firm defense
and seal their shame with gross offense

if there is no hope for me
then all man is cursed most certainly
and if I got what I deserve
a better god I'd seek to serve

because if there is no hope for me
then rotten grows my heart
and so all the world as sin is sin
should lose hope and break apart

But because there is hope for me
then all should choose Him and not tarry
for what  tragedy can you choose
to make this forgiveness lose?

1Peter1:13-16

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
