This is nottt so good. But it's a poem by me!!!!
This ocean I'm in Surrounded by sin All around I only see Those things which taunt me.
Behind is my past All mistakes seem to vast Crushing the spirit inside Throwing me against its tide.
To the left there floats All my pride and my gloats All envy and strife That I've felt in my life.
To the right stays strong All those who I've wronged Their eyes filled with tears Haunt me through my years
To my front stays with me My wrongs and misdeeds All lies and deceit Tread right next to me.
All directions filled with thoughts Which leer and taunt Up above cloudy skies Blocking my cries
This ocean overwhelms me Breaking my sanity And with my last breath I whisper to you from the depths:
"Lord make me whole"
Then a surge of strength Fills my gait And from above You send your love.
With it falls away My gray cloudy day And as rays start to extend The ocean around me begins to descend
My toils, now at my feet, Seem now so discreet And as the waters fall away A mountain is now where I stay
Now surrounded by grace My tears gone with no trace Joy and love now overwhelm My spirit is in a separate realm.
A place where troubles are not felt A place where at His feet you wish to melt. This place of only You and me And great thanks I utter to thee:
"Thank you Lord for rescuing me."
Now years have passes Since that time elapsed And as my thoughts grew more crowded My sight of you became more clouded.
Love's fire no longer kindled Glory's light starting to dwindle And now I feel a backwards motion And I now fall back in my ocean.
My fears and doubts now surround Your love is seemingly unfound I need Your help to see me through This life that gave itself to you.
I'm falling back into the depths Where only troubles fill my breaths And as I drop into this tide This prayer to you I resign:
"Lord, you alone can forgive And for you alone I used to live. Please rekindle the love I had Drive away these thoughts that drive me mad. Draw me in your arms again Shelter me from my life's pain. Without you I am adrift Wasting my life with endless slips With all my pride put aside Please save me from this tide."
I lay in stillness and wonder And the waves still tear asunder. And as I succumb to my life's harms I feel once again your fatherly arms.
"Thank you Lord. Thank You"
