Lord I come before You
Tears so bountiful I cannot see
If you are really there and really care
Please take this burden off of me
I can feel Your presence now
So close, but just out of reach
Take my hand and lead me
To the place I may find peace
I need You more than ever before
For I have sinned and need Your grace
You have saved me; You have healed me
You have forgiven my soul’s disgrace
You have brought me out of darkness
And into your promising light
You have given me strength
When I was too weak to fight
You saw me when I stumbled
And You caught me in Your arms
You have shielded and protected me
Throughout my many storms
But now it seems to me
That I have lost Your grace
I look all around me
But I can’t see Your face
I see my sins and wrongs I’ve done
And they block You from my view
I see the devil mocking me
Saying he has conquered You
Then I see a drop of blood
The devil starts to cower
As more blood falls, my sins are covered
Satan cannot overcome Your power
I look up and see You on the cross
I see Your pain and cry thanks to You
For I know Your blood covers my sins
And gives me life anew
I am thankful that someone like You
Would die for a sinner like me
I’ll praise you all my days
Because of Your grace, I now can see

Since it’s almost Easter, I thought I’d share this poem I wrote a few years ago. Enjoy!
AMEN!! I love this! Prayer is a beautiful thing by itself, but prayer in a poem…so nice! I’d give my left arm to be able to write poetry 😦 If I try really really hard, I could, but it’s sooo hard for me!

It’s hard for me too actually. I’ve only written a handful in my whole life. For some reason I find it easier to write a story than a poem even though it’s longer. So glad you liked it!
