Aggravation

When I am aggravated by

What life demands of me

I try to take a second look

At things I didn’t see,

Like how you healed the sick and lame

Or calmed the stormy sea.

How you took my form for a while

So you could set me free,

And, worried that my sinful ways

Would sunder you and me,

You bore the weight of all my sins

And died upon a tree.

So when I let aggravation

Get the best of me

I close my eyes and think of you

And drop down on my knee

To thank you that you didn’t stay
Aggravated with me.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
