Poem For The Lord

This is a poem I wrote back in 2018.

Woe, Woe is me

I am nothing without thee

My sinful nature, my DNA

I try to hide, but still display

 

I overexert to bury my hurt

How lowly I am, much lower than dirt

For even the earth, will obey the Lord

My deceitful heart is of its own accord

 

When I am in darkness I feel the sharpness

The pain from sin is never mark less

Save me Lord, to whom i pray

From my sinful nature, my DNA

 

There came a day, when I did pray

His presence came to my display

I couldn’t speak, I felt so weak

For it was God, whom I did seek

 

At first I felt a Godly fear

I’d never felt it oh so clear

I’d never felt a power so great

It caused my very soul to shake

 

Insignificant I felt

His Love then caused my heart to melt

His warmth inviting like the sun

After feeling cold and almost numb

 

His word I read for years and years

I prayed with joy and sometimes tears

I longed to hear from Him a word

Though sometimes silence was all I heard

 

In silence I held onto to faith

I read his word, to seek His face

My God, My God, I knew you were there

This moment answered all my prayers

 

As quick as It came

His presence left

Doubtless I can now attest

That God is there

He heard my prayer

His presence I can now declare

 

As time went by

My soul went dry

Depression taunted me

But why?

 

Awakened I became in Him

His truth instilled to me within

Back in the world without his reverence

I longed to back in His presence

 

I longed to be with God again

Though it’s His decision of how and when

Yet sorrow still crept in my soul

His presence left a Godly hole

 

The year that followed

Deeply swallowed

My life in loss

In pain, In sorrow

 

The biggest storms, filled with strife

Cut into me just like a knife

And in those days, I fell away

Ashamed I felt, the more I strayed

 

I numbed my pain In my despair

I sinned as though I didn’t care

Deep down I cried, I couldn’t hide

From God, The one that I defied

 

Still in sin

I prayed to Him

I read his word

My faith still in

 

This pain was more than I could bare

I failed you God

Are you still there?

 

Your presence in my memory

I can’t forget

I still believe

And I’m ashamed to even say

I wished I could forget God’s way

 

I can’t forget

You would not let

That’s why you came to me and set

Your light in me

I still believe

Forever Christ has set me free

 

I’ll turn away from what I’ve done

Forgive me Lord

My God I come

I’m not the one I was before

My God has changed me to my core

 

Please meet me where I am this day

I’m broken where I stand, I pray

Please cleanse me of my sin, my ways

Give me your nature, Your DNA

 

You’ve given me the gift of life

I lived through pain and lived in strife

I praise you Lord forever I say

For answering my prayers that day

 

I can’t forget

You would not let

That’s why you came to me and set

Your light in me

I still believe

Forever Christ has set me free
