I, sin

 I’m not sharp, I’m a sinner like everyone else 

No need to put a finer point on it 

Even I lead folks to Jesus , who heals us when He sees us 

He’s the whole point of the sonnet

Sin ain’t all I am , He’s opened my eyes and ears 

Like the deaf man, my mouth was mute mainly 

Upon meeting Christ, I’m highly priced

My tongue loose now I  speak plainly

Can I please be some people, bring others straight to Christ 

I’m begging Jesus daily for the ones 

He made her, He sought her, she’s His dear daughter

He heals her and He touches sick sons 

Sin ain’t all I am , He’s opened my eyes and ears 

Like the deaf man, my mouth was mute mainly 

Upon meeting Christ, I’m highly priced

My tongue loose now I speak plainly

Sin ain’t all I am , He’s opened my eyes and ears 

Like the deaf man, my mouth was mute mainly 

Upon meeting Christ, I’m  highly priced

My tongue loose now I speak plainly.

Mark 7:31-35

Jesus Heals a Deaf and Mute Man

Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis. There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.

After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue. He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.
