Full Circle

Many times ive questioned my purpose 
In my days upon this earth
Its something i have struggled with 
From the days since my birth

Ive wandered to and fro in life
Ive seen good fortune pass me by
Ive felt the crushing blow of heartaches
And seen many tears fall from my eyes

Theres times ive made poor choices
Where consequences rendered pain
And regretful hurtful actions
I can never take back again

I can only be honest with my creator
Who knows my true heart inside
And now its in his grace and comfort
Where i now choose to reside

I will never judge another soul
As i have my own flaws to bear
And i have chosen to be forgiving
And to show more love and care. 

It matters not how people see me
Or how their words may tear me apart
It only matters that before my God
He sees my truest heart.

Now that my days have come full circle
And i sit and ponder over my past
It is only the things ive done for Christ
That will forever last.
