Lord, I Look Up To You

Lord I am in a bind, for I have fallen behind, I"m in trouble and don't know what to do, so Lord Jesus, I look up to you. Lord I grow weak and weary in need of rest, so I turn to you to take away my distress. People say do this, do that, but when I do there's always a catch.

Go here, go there, each time I do I end up no where. So what do you do when you don't know what? You keep running in circles and stay in a rut. Your friends turn their backs on you and that's a kick in the gut.

Bad thoughts running through my head, maybe I'm better off dead, I'm starting to see red. They say pick yourself up and get a grip, I'm trying everything I can not to flip, I pray to you Lord, don't let me slip.

Lord I need guidance, I feel so blue, so again, Lord Jesus I look up to you. I been through so much, but now my eyes have been opened because my heart you have touched and It don't matter what they say, I know I am a beautiful spirit because you made me this way.

Now doors are starting to open, faces are becoming new and I know Lord, I owe It all to You. For You are my Lord, All Knowing, Kind and True. This is why Lord Jesus, I Look Up To You.

This is written by the hand of a man who has felt love, fear, exultation, grief, guilt, pain and dismay sift through his hands like the sands of time. The deep pool of emotion poured forth in this work almost drowns the reader in self contemplation. Emile.
