Best Recovery From...Jesus Poems


Shedding the Pain

You've lived life,
Full of abuse.
Looking at each day
Thinking what's the use.

"Who could care about,
A person like me?
I live with so much pain,
That's all they can see."

"I've reached out for help,
But when will it come?
I am so apprehensive,
To trust just anyone."

Jesus Christ is the answer,
He'll help you through.
Surrender it all to Him,
Letting Him work in you.

The road may be rough,
From your point of view.
But He will make that change,
Giving you life that's new!

One day at a time,
Closer to Jesus you'll be.
As you let go of your past,
Soon through Jesus you'll be free!

For Love

for love
--------


home from church again
a few minutes went by
before my first sin
sometimes i cry

a cigarette, the breath of death
to console a lonely heart
i guess at least it isn't meth
but it might be a start

the love of Jesus gives me hope
to try again to find a friend
my chest hurts, it's hard to cope
sometimes i seek the end

i want to live, though
yet not alone throughout
sometimes i just go
seeking who or what i'm all about

maybe to another state far from here
to be someplace i know and love
or a place i've never been, it's clear
i'm living here, but thinking above

i sometimes fear that i will never find
the place where i was meant to be
a place with people, yet peace of mind
people to care for, yet still to be free

i found in God a cure for hopelessness
in Jesus a ration of passion
i thought back then that He would bless
like of olden days, in Biblical fashion

yet here i am alone at home
and there everybody went, with me without
my thoughts and hopes are chrome
still spotted with rust colored doubt

that i will ever have a Christian friend
whose friendship is actual, not implied
whose time he would happily spend
with a weakling who broke down and cried

for love
