" . . . that I might go free."

There are no depths
to which I have gone
or to which I could go,
but Thou, in Thy fathomless
mercy and love
didst still sink below,
plumbing the depths
for a sin-ruined heart
indifferent to Thee;
draining the dregs
of God's holy wrath
that I might go free.

~~ Ruth Bell Graham
(from her book of poetry, "Sitting by my laughing fire . . . ")
