Jim Pemberton Poet Rhyme

Dear Lord I Don'T Want To Play Games Anymore

Lord...  For too long, 
I've been playing "games."
Struggling with a heavy load
 and a lot of pains.

My family and friends thought
 I was living so good.
But during all of this time
 they never understood.

So many people close to me,
 didn't even know.
That for so much of my life,
 I've been putting on a "show."

So many of the Christians,
 that I meet all around.
Don't know of the struggles, 
when things are getting me "down."

I'm sick of this way of living
 that I have had.
If YOU will help me change. 
 I'll be so glad!

It's you Jesus...  I'll never 
be able to fool.
Over everything in my life...  
You must reign and rule!

I'll be so happy for giving me 
a new chance to begin.
By accepting God's grace 
and being changed within!

Time for playing games is over!.  
Today is a new start!
Because of Jesus...  I have a new 
life and a new heart!
