A Life Once Shattered

Reading Mark 5:1-20 during one of my devotions inspired me to write this poem. If i were a professional song writer and musician, I would write a song about this story (although i already composed songs but i only sing them to God:)). 


I was  trying hard to compose a melody out of it but i failed (maybe i'll try later) so I just composed a poem out of it.

Here's the poem I composed (i was inspired with what Jesus has done to this man):

A Life Once Shattered

Before he met Jesus

His life was shattered

A legion of demons was with him

He lived in the tombs

Naked...hair uncombed

People were afraid of him

No one could bind him

Not even with a chain

For he had often been chained

But he tore them apart

And even the irons were torn apart.

No one was strong enough to subdue him

Night and day among the tombs

And in the hills he would cry out

And cut himself with stones
Those were all his whereabouts

But when he met Jesus

Jesus rebuked the demons and said, "Come out!"

That legion of demons was gone

With the large herd of pigs they were drowned

And this man came to his right mind

He was dressed and would go with Jesus, 'twas in his mind

Jesus told him to go home

and tell his family what God has done

So the man went away

And he obeyed

And all the people were amazed

His life once shattered was fixed and no longer a scary maze

When he met Jesus

His life became a blessing

His life became amazing!

Note: Only Jesus can fix a shattered life.
