Reflection on Psalm 32

My sins were weights
sandbags to my soul
How could I dance
or even walk
under such a burden?

You brought a yoke
I thought “a joke”
I said “No thanks”
and kept my load

So you waited
Until the weights
were too much

I dragged them to you
I confessed my sins
and “snip” you cut them free

Dance! I can leap!
I can almost fly!
What joy forgiveness brings
And that yoke is light
No more sandbag sins
I will dance with you always.
