POEM: Lord, I’m Trying…

POEM:

Lord, I’m reaching… I’m here for you to save.
Please! I’m trying to find a brighter day.
Oh, God, I’m failing to make it my own way.
Father, I’m pleading the blood over my case…

I’m standing on the edge and looking out
Wondering if I fall, who’ll save me from the ground?
Well, here I am… dutiful, obedient, and staring down
Into a world that never wanted me around.

Life can be so cruel and at times I play its fool
Only time can tell if its damage manipulated you
… “Keep your head held high; know where your help comes from …”
Father God, I trust You and I’m leaning on Your Son.

So many things weigh on me and leave me weaker still
But I find strength in listening to Your whispers in my ear
Jesus, only You can rinse me clean of sin
God, please deliver me and make me whole again.

Until next time...
