Jim Pemberton Poet Rhyme

Dear Lord I'Ve Been Hurt and Abused

Dear Jesus...  I've Been Hurt and Abused...

I've been hurt so much... 
I don't feel like "going on."
It feels like "everything I do turns out wrong."

I've been "abused and neglected
 so many times."
I feel like I'm a victim "of a thousand crimes."

I've tried to talk to some people... but to no avail.
Many look at me as if "I'm destined to fail."

"Perhaps if they knew everything, 
they'd extend a hand."
"If they knew what I've been through... 
they'd understand."

"Dear Jesus... I hope that you'll
 forgive me if I cry."
"I don't know where else to turn."
 "I don't want to die!"

Please help me and my kids
 to find a new life in YOU.
I really don't know anyone else I can turn to.

I've hit "rock bottom."  There seems
 to be no way out.
I know that you care...
and you love me beyond any doubt.

In the midst of a very 
discouraging situation.
You've extended to me a "heavenly invitation."

You've opened up your heart 
to me with loving arms.
And by your Spirit, you'll protect me from all harm.

You reached down and gave 
to me a "special grace."
And have given me true love 
and a smile on my face!
