REACHING TO INFINITY?
I yearn....thoughts toss in my mind snapshots of the past return
I want absolution, such I crave
An equilibrium before I’m in my grave
How can I best hold a true course?
I feel dammed by past misadventures
Wrong reactions made
That caused a barrier, that emotions cannot simply invade
The erroneous thoughts a lame tongue
There is much I would do and much I would make undone
And so I pick up the threads of prayer
Aware of many losses, how might I dare?
Alone Christ’s blood that judges me not
His truest love it can be my lot.
Beyond all mischief, despite all faults though great & untold,
He has endless vaults; his compassion is forever.
I’ll kneel awhile or on my mattress truly seek his side
To let his blood renew my all
Help me Jesus, please don’t let me fall.
