Poetry
I know that I have failed You
In my willfulness and pride.
And the things I have done and said
Have kept others from Your side.
I admit that I am guilty, Lord,
For the blood that You have shed,
Too often I have failed to honor
When I demand my way instead.
I have plead the cross of Calvery
When I desire to be forgiven,
Yet withheld my mercy from another,
And thus barred his way to heaven.
For how can they see my Savior
When I stand in the way?
And how will they seek His will,
When I refuse to obey?
I desire to serve You faithfully,
That my words and actions be true,
To trust and obey You totally,
So the world may believe in You.
So, break me, Holy Sovereign,
Remove each sin, cleanse, renew,
Be all that lives within me
So all the world sees is You

I applaud your honesty in this poem. It is very heartfelt and it shows. I know that sometimes it may seem that we mess things up, actually we do, but I believe God can and does actually use this to his will. By allowing you to see your mistakes though, he is able to help you. Through the same mistakes he may be driving home another message to someone else that you aren't even aware of yet (and may never be). The old saying "The Lord works in mysterious ways", is absolutely true. Don't forget what you have written, this was a lesson for you or perhaps others who read your wonderful poem, it has been for me. God bless you.
