Poetry
Oh these thoughts!
These horrible, burning thoughts.
swirling through my brain,
contaminating all they touch.
Lord, save me from myself!
They burn! They burn!
Out! Get out of my head!
Out! Out! Leave me in peace.
'Lord!' I weep
'I'm sorry Lord! So sorry!'
I know they're wrong
these nasty, depressing, delicious, sinful thoughts.
I entertain them for a moment
One single, dreadful, glorious moment,
Then banish them,
Banished forever.
But
The damage is done
All from that one single moment
And I weep.
The guilt
Oh! The guilt!
I know that once again I have failed in my duty.
That duty set by you,
To be pure,
Pure and holy.
But I have failed.
Crushed
I lie here crushed.
Stop looking at me Lord.
Leave me here alone.
But no!
Don't abandon me!
Not here
Alone in this darkness I have created.
Oh Lord!
I'm so sorry!
Wash me clean
Nice and clean again.
Heal me of my self-inflicted damage.
Hold my hand as I start again,
Help me guard my thoughts
My traitorous, wandering thoughts.

What a reflection of all of us!! I am so glad Jesus died for us! Thank you Natalie. Anita
Very vivid images, and what a message! I could feel your emotions. Well done.
WOW, and thats just how it goes. My friend and i wrote a poem about all this and one of my lines was ... How in the midnight hours, i think about my day, and the sickness of sin, trys it best to settle in, i try my hardest to pray, and i don't know what to say. Thank God that we can pick up on the lies and get it all settled with our Heavenly Father. We can always go before Him but satan makes us believe that we can't ever face our Lord again. Well written and great job of expressing the emotions, you nailed it !
Powerful. Thank you for this.
