Akilah Babb Poet Pastoral

Enemy Was Me

"JESUS,I'M SORRY THE
ENEMY WAS ME
FOR WHAT I WANTED
REPLACED YOUR
LOVE THAT WAS SHED FOR ME
WAY BACK AT CALVARY 
I REPLACED MYSELF 
MOVED MYSELF FROM
YOUR HOLY WAYS
FORGETTING THAT
IT WAS YOU WHO GAVE 
MY SOUL ALLOWED 
ME TO SEE 31 YRS
THE ENEMY HAS
BEEN ME
POINTING THE FINGER
AT OTHERS WHAT
I THOUGHT THEIR SINS
I COULD SEE
I KEPT DENYING THAT
THE ENEMY WAS ME
BUT I STILL THAT YOU
JESUS FOR YOUR GIFTS
OF GRACE AND MERCY 
EXCUSING ME
AND EVERY OTHER BLESSING
EVEN THOUGH THE ENEMY 
HAS BEEN ME."
