Guilt

I feel the weight of my sin Surrounding me with fear I look at my own heart and spirit And know that it is only God’s forgiveness That will keep me from losing my will To begin another day, another way I’ve lost my fight a few times And found that I needed to decide Between worldly love and Godly love I always want the One from above The answer to all my prayers The One who makes me fully aware I know I’m not perfect and I sin Even when I’d like to be flawless There are days when I can’t feel Him with me Even though I know He is, He is alive Guiding me through the worst and Helping me to make it when I’m hurt I doubt that I’ll ever be able to go to Him On bended knee, without saying “I’m sorry” For some mistake or misdeed, some sin That is haunting me and leading me astray Carrying me away, to a loss of purity and hope Into a struggle for the joy that lives in my soul I welcome the opportunity to love unconditionally Without sin coming between me and Him The One who lives within me, leads me and keeps me Feeling so sure that life is meant to be led With Him in control of my will, alive in my spirit Providing me with ample chance to be filled with grace I know that I will always look around me and see That I’ve sinned in ways that I could never pretend To ignore or disregard as something I’ve not done The feelings of shame are there and they’re no fun They lead me to open my heart to the Father of all And listen to the small still voice that whispers… “He is within you and He is with you and He will listen” Thankfully, I know the joy of His faithful friendship And I know that He forgives and fills me with compassion Without His love, I am nothing, less than a human being With Him, I’m wise, strong, alert and filled with true love With Him, I’m sure to know the meaning of His words And I continue to listen to that still small voice… Alive with faith, hope and love from above
