Poem

I’ve failed Him
So many times, in so many ways
Through transgressions
All along my path
Through indulgences
In sin and wrong
Through crimes
Which always harm

I’ve failed Him
In ways I can’t even describe
Left Him pained
Because He stood at my side
Caused Him tears
Because of my alibis
Made Him sad
Even though I’m His child

I’ve failed Him
Darkened His gaze
With wickedness and failure
Shadowed His light
With black dread and fear
Colored His hopes
In depravity and flaws
Failures that taunt and haunt

I’ve failed Him
Made sin my only friend
As I begged Him again and again
Please forgive me
For the offenses within
The ones that make me feel
Like I shouldn’t enter in
To the relationship with Him

I’ve failed Him
Left His spirit grieved
Because when He was my need
I turned to addictions and things
That destroyed my life
Left me with so much strife
I couldn’t turn back to Him
The One who breathed life into me

I’ve failed Him
Known that I was wrong
Still clung to the darkest loss
In spite of the truth that screamed
Through silent echoes of dreams
Knowing that He would agree
His peace would finally free me
From the horror of sin

I’ve failed Him
But, in spite of my flaws,
He continues to give me all
I need to carry on
To keep trying to love
With all my heart
To keep the faith in His love
Which saved me and assured me
Someday I’d live above
Where His pure, unconditional love
Surrounds me like a glove
Sent to remind me I’m His
A child of the King
A brother to whom I cling
A God of who I sing

I’ve failed Him
The way, the truth, the life
But He has never failed me
His delighted bride
