The poem, “Convicted, Broken, and Reborn in Christ’s Grace,” explores a spiritual journey from despair to redemption. It starts with a soul ensnared and shattered by sin or circumstance, lost and blind until mercy intervenes. Some are trapped by their own choices, others by unseen burdens, but the Holy Spirit’s conviction exposes their guilt and pride. The call to deny oneself and take up the cross emerges, leading to a shared crucifixion with Christ that ushers in new life. Through conviction and brokenness, the soul is mended and born again into a personal relationship with Christ, fully redeemed by His grace.

Busted to broken, caught in life’s harsh snare,
A soul adrift, by shame or fracture torn,
One stumbles blind, the heart laid cold and bare,
Till mercy heals what sin had overworn.

Some forge their chains, by choice or folly bound,
Others crack beneath a weight unknown,
The Spirit’s conviction stirs the soul around,
Revealing guilt where pride had once been grown.

“Let him deny himself,” the call resounds,
A cross to bear, the flesh to cast aside,
Crucified with Christ, new life abounds—
Born anew, where living waters bide.

Convicted, broken, mended by His call,
Reborn in Christ’s grace, He redeems it all.
