At The Corner Of The Street Called Straight
Lord, I have judged this man's lost reputation
that he had made before you brought Salvation
to him. I, too, know how that changes life
and brings about an end to spiritual strife.
It is much like the way You brought Your peace
to storm, wind, waves, commanded once to cease
their rage. I judged, Lord, what You had forgiven:
therefore, my sin (worse than his) must be shriven.
The havoc he has wreaked upon your churches---
and evil done to your dear saints---still lurches
in my mind, Lord. I pray: remove that bias.
Restore me, Lord, your servant, Ananias,
such that when Brother Saul thinks on my name,
it shall not be a synonym for shame.
