The Onion
 
 

I was an ONION -   before Christ set me Free
Layers upon Layers of Iniquity.
An ugly old ONION  whose Fragrance was Strong;
That my Jesus Bought and Loved all along.

Unknown to me what He was going to do.
Of what He was Planning, I had not a Clue.
Pulling each Layer off one by one.
In order to make Me more like Jesus - the Son.

As the Lord Embraced me in His loving Hand.
He said, now and only now can you be;
The Creation that will Minister before ME.

Clothed with the Righteousness only from Above;
Gone are Your Layers of Self - so you can be Filled
with My Love.

He took my Layers of Sin, - Hurt and Pain;
And Clothed me with Love, -  Truth and Mercy in His Name.

Yes, we are all ONIONS,  learning with each Day;
How to Overcome as each Layer is taken away.

Some Layers Tear and pull at our Heart;
While others Grieve us to our Innermost part.

But we are Nothing but an Ugly Onion  without Christ.
Layers upon Layers of Pride, - Sin and Strife.
Only God can take those Layers away.
 
 

And Clothe us with His Righteousness
in that Final Day.
