Jennifer Arnott Poet Rhyme

Lord

"Lord", I know your laws
my life, you see my flaws
I can't erase my sins
everyday it lives within

when I do good things
the bad is still there, it hangs
it keeps me from happiness
hoping for forgiveness

I've tried and prayed
I feel it maybe too late

this world has made me realize
it needs you for paradise
happiness never lasts long
misery always prolongs

I'm not a pope, nun, nor angel
I hunger for your world
to be free from evil
waiting for heaven to prevail

like most in life, ive failed
odds of eternal forever
seems to me maybe never

perhaps I can't live my real life
until I passed through that light

Mutemwa Gideon March 7, 2011 at 8:20 AM Amen. Its like this poem was written for me, for their was the time i saw the laws and lived through the laws and what a burden i carried, for i was always sinning, in thought in action, i mean sin sprang up to life and in me produced every covetous desire of going against the law. But when i came to realize how POWERFUL and SWEET is the grace of CHRIST. I am a totally different person because i saw the light. I love you, Jenn for sharing this word. Gidds

Diane Christian February 8, 2011 at 7:17 AM aww a great poem, we are forgiven of our sisn, when jesus died on the cross and rose again, we died with him our past present and future sins, how awesome was that he did for us. it's never to late, God promises that when our sins may be red as crimson he willw ash us whiter than snow, God bless from diane thanks for your kind comments
