Wide Awake

She called out in a loud voice in what was long since then 
Remembering back to that choice, what would have been
For now she was all alone with no place to hide that pain
Once the Light had shone, well, feelings are hard to feign

Falling down to her knees, her hands covering her face
She called out her pleas in so asking God for His Grace
And as her tears poured, darkness covering her heart
Feeling so unassured, this being the best place to start

When something came along, a feeling she never had
The feeling of being wrong, but not that she was bad
Clearly seeing her mistake the Lord drawing her near
A soul now wide awake as His Love became so clear

Everyone of us will fall and this being on a daily basis
For life is a very tough haul as you can vouch for this
That is why Jesus had came atoning for every inequity 
But by not knowing His Name nor can you ever be free  

Psalms 27:8 (KJV)
“When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; 
my heart said unto thee, 
Thy face, LORD, will I seek.”

You find what you seek.

His love for us is greater than we can ever imagine as is his forgiveness. And when we let ourselves get close to Him, He gives us such great beautiful comfort. God bless and have a wonderful 4th Jo Daniel.
