Poetry

Not long ago my heart was sad,
I felt I had no one.
Life didn't make any sense to me,
My heart it weighed a ton.
Then one day God stirred my heart,
He said, "I'm here with you."
He led me to His loving arms,
And said, "I love you too."

My time each day with God was great,
I didn't feel all alone.
I felt such peace and joy and hope,
His love He had made known.
Each day I came and talked to Him,
He listened to each word.
I always felt Him close to me,
I know my voice He heard.

My life was so much better then,
I prayed to Him each day.
My faith in Him was growing strong,
His word led me His way.
I had a friend who believed in me,
He stayed through thick and thin.
He healed my blemished heart and then,
He washed away my sin.

Lately though I've been feeling lost,
I try to keep my hope.
But nothing has been going right,
I just can't seem to cope.
I feel despair, I'm giving up,
I'm struggling each day.
I know my God is still with me,
It's me; I've gone astray.

Sinful thoughts consume my mind,
I just don't seem to care.
I say and do things that are wrong,
I'm acting so unfair.
I'm so impatient, jealous too,
I want this all to stop.
I know that Satan is at work,
Right now he is on top.

I want You Lord back in control,
I want to trust again.
Streams of tears flow from my eyes,
Please take away this pain.
Turn to me; have mercy Lord;
I need to feel Your touch.
Please take my hand and guide me back,
I need Your love so much.

Through His word God speaks to me,
Just put your trust in me.
I will protect you at all times,
I'll help you, trust and see.
Just be still, wait patiently,
I'm always in control.
I love you child; you are my own,
I long to sooth your soul.

I know I'm back where I belong,
He won't let go of me.
I hold on tight; it feels so right,
I'm where I long to be.
He comforts me; I'm safe and warm,
His tenderness I know.
I know my Jesus loves me so,
Where He leads I'll go.
