God has personally lifted me out of my deepest affliction
saved and for that I thank him.
This poetry slam has a very big meaning for me and is dedicated to our Father in Heaven!
Thank you Jesus!

God, where are you?
---
Where are you?
Where are you?
Not there, so far from me!
I scream, but I don't shout anything...
---
Where are you?
---
God, I need...
Stop
Falling and lost, I kneel before you, Jesus.
---
Where are you?
---
What I feel is not so simple, because I am lost!
Yes, I fall and fall and fall further... further into the depths.
---
Where are you?
---
What is that?
A spark... a light that makes my heart race.
My gaze, yes my gaze rises up to you.
My eyes move back and forth, following your breath.
Your trace that leaves a quiet path.
---
Leaves in my heart!
---
I go on and on, no longer back but forward
and don't stop anymore.
Yes, in the end I see your untamed love.
---
I see you!
---
Yes, the cross that lies before me, so alive and free.
I rise up, rise up from my infirmity.
I am stronger, stronger because of you!
My heart... my soul... my body,
healed by your hand!
You, Jesus, rise for me from the light. You go into the darkness.
Pull me away, away from this captivity!
---
Evil has lost!
---
You win.
conquer me.
As truly as you once said: "It is finished!"
Just as you once died for our mistakes...died.
And God gave up his son for our failure.
But...
---
He did it out of unbridled and unconditional love!
---
Therefore it is truly said,
we live, we are not lost.
Now I stand tall! I see you, you and only you, so great and loving.
---
As our father!
---
And I look up, up into the sky.
Freed by knowledge, freed from fear and misfortune.
---
Yes, truly, you have saved me.
---
But whoever endures to the end will be saved.
Matthew 24:13
