Pray For Me

A final rest clamps down on my eyelids The shadow grows hovering over my soul The hand of death weighs heavy on me Not the death but a drifting from faith The good I would do I do not, I do more of the evil A million and one times have I fallen flat and folded The sorrow runs a deep course through my veins This sin seems deep seated in reins, to its shame I'm helpless God with this sin I'm struggling, I do not want to disgust you My eyes grow weary from many tears of sorrow My heart's gotten tired to the thoughts of again I did it God You can have mercy on me and really touch me too Lost again in the prayers of humble sadness There are no more tears left to shed Have Your way with me truly just touch me LORD Empty and break me LORD truly touch this me Like a metal in the hands of the goldsmith Beat and fashion me into Your precious being Sin is getting the best of me, I am sorry LORD. Pray for this last piece of me and bring me back again

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
