A Letter to the Church

A Letter to the Church

I beg you friend, do not contrive for me
yet another design of how to be…
Holy

When I do wrong and am severed from
His Joy
Your penal guilt cannot restore…
my wounded soul.

My God is full of light and grace
His eyes see where my failures…
Lie

Do not promote for me more alters
that do not lead to…
Transformation

Dilute not His New Wine
with the dredges of obligation
It is His very own mystery that eradicates
My guilt

The only righteous judgment is in the blood
He spilt...
Jesus saves me

Jill Autrey Dorman
