An Introspective
I am far from perfect. In fact, perfect and I
rarely ever meet up, except perhaps in my poetry.
I broke every rule in the book. I listen about as well
as I draw. Oh, I have ears, I just didn't use them.
I had little respect for anything including myself.
I knew the truth, I just didn't care to see it.
I knew what I should do and did the opposite, every time!
I did everything I shouldn't have done
And did none of the things I truly should have done.
But that's all said and done.
His Word is Mighty, my word is nothing!
Time and time again I seen it, I heard it, I felt it.
And over that time He kept pulling me closer,
The closer I got, I began to feel His Spirit in my soul
And those tears began to flow, all of them for Him
I was a stubborn mule, but the Lord was a more loving God..
I needed only to look just once, with His Grace, to finally see
Now I see great, but I still bump into things.
But all of that pain, now I give it up to Him
Still hard sometimes though not to feel unworthy
And yet in Jesus' Name we are all worthy,
Don't be as I was, for my happiness came through Him
He is so loving, He knows you better than you do, you know
He's knows what will bring joy to your heart.
I can attest to that
