Poem Title:
Poem
the past is behind although sometimes I have little peace of mind because I still have memories that hang on to me And when the thoughts become too much I cry out to Thee Because with just one touch Of the Master's hand I return and begin to understand Forgive doesn't mean forget Or the past will be my present I need to remember where I came from I won and I lost some But because of Christ I can still smile All the while I hold my heart and tongue from speaking guile Because if I begin to confess evil thoughts and evil mess and ungodly evil things Can I really be surprised at the reapings the harvest will bring I recently heard that God can turn a victim into a victory And that is what He has done inside of me It's so much I could not see before He opened my eyes Now I truly realize That it is only by His hand that I can come out on the other side the lamp unto my feet, my Guide People may look at me And say "how can she"? But the truth is I can't and I don't If God said No I couldn't and I won't I think a testimony can come out of a test I've been tried by some of the best and must confess that yes my soul was at unrest But then I asked God for His peace And He saved my soul So I made it my intent and my goal to serve Him first there's a drink that quenches your thirst but with Him I never have to thirst again Not only is He my friend But Jesus- I cannot live without Him
