Notes About The Poem

My Story

He never lets me drown When it feels like my heart and soul, My story, might just burn down, His mercy fills me up, makes me whole, So I can see His crown – His love is all around. He never lets me sink Into the web of my defeat, My story, written with His ink, He pens each pulse, each heartbeat, So I can see my sins start to shrink. He never lets me fall, Overcome by the world, so dark, My story, though not as amazing a call, His grace always lights up a spark, So I can see His wonder – His writing on the wall. He never lets me crash, Even though I sometimes feel downcast, My story, sometimes calls me white trash, He rewrites me, despite the worst in my past, So I can see – His love changes me, in a flash. He never lets me doubt, Though my heart sometimes fears, My story, it is filled with times I’ve burned out, His light restores me, wiping away my tears, So I can see the song He is writing, so devout. He never lets me run away, While I want to go, He says I must stay, My story, it is one where I’ll always pray, His love can be felt, be it night or day, So I can see that He will never lead me astray. He never lets me disappoint, When I feel lost, He gives me courage, My story, I know He will anoint, His music, it will always encourage, So I can see the way to my turning point. He never lets me wane, When I feel weak, He is my strength, My story, it’s filled with pain, His redemption goes to any length, So I can see sunshine through the rain. He never lets me elude, When I want to hide, He will provide, My story, it reminds me that I’m pursued, His spirit chose me, despite my pride, So I can see and my heart is filled with gratitude!
