Poem
No time to write a sonnet Tip of my tongue not rehearsed Might be time spent useless But that’s ok here’s the verse In the water you set me free How can i forget Sins forgiven once for all Atonement you had met You hung dry and nailed up there That I cannot repay Unmerited favor on me What more can i say? I do not deserve that gift Gratitude extends beyond You have bridged the abyss And grabbed me from despond I struggle to make you known To those who need you most From the suburbs and outside The city to the beaches coast Fear of man is a deadly snare This I know is such I try to give you my best But still I lose the touch Scared that I will not be Able to finish this race Started strong and fast But now can't keep a pace How can I keep up? Doubted all my life And support the kids? And inspire my wife? Still believe what I said I'll follow you for sure Fallen down to much Which leaves me insecure Did not know how hard To live right and repent Still trying to figure out Just why you were sent Worries and pleasures come I’m tangled up in thorns Doubt my salvation took Was I really “reborn” Can you heal my disease A doctor for the soul As these years pass by My heart is a dark hole Deep insecurity That I cannot shed Stricken with sensitivity And stuff inside my head Slave to what master’s me I haven’t any to blame Setbacks trample me My disgrace and shame Use a broken tool? To honor your crown? A corrupt fool? One who’s been beat down? No more running from you Again same old song Where can I go? Back to you where I belong! Hearing of you I’m terrified But is also bitter sweet Need more grace and comfort Trembling at your feet How did the ancients do it? With discouragement and fear How did they stay faithful? Knowing that death was near Sometimes I can’t see at all Wonder if your close Sometimes I feel you are gone When I need you the most I request that you would walk With me throughout my day Please come and fight for me Hurry don’t delay I know your voice again declares “Just follow and obey.” “Remember that I’m the potter, And you are just the clay.” By:beardedJarhead
