Dana Redricks Poet Lyric

I Come Too Far

I Come Too Far
Author Dana Redricks
February 09, 2015

I come too far to turn back now
The tempter comes to tempt, but 
My God comes to deliver.
I can’t call my mother because she’s
In a heavenly home far away.
I can’t call on my daddy, because 
He’s never really been there;
I can’t call on my friends because they
Are too far away.
Jesus is the only friend I can call on.
I can’t find deliverance in a bottle, or
A pill and only God knows how
I feel; sometimes the pain hurts me so
And I find it hard to breathe only God can 
Give me air; he is not bound by distance,
Or time, or bound by the things of this world.
 He is my redeemer my soul made refined.
