Failure..
Such a dark and dreary word
Leaving no room for repentance
It empties the soul of hope

Look up my friend
And see the light of the Son
He shines upon your face
Waiting to hear your prayer

Lost without hope,
All failures lie
Wanting a way out
Having no more tears to cry

When alone in the darkest night
Reaching your hand toward the sky
With a voice choked with sorrow
Swallow your pride and cry

Jesus is there in the dark with you
Holding on with the nails in his hands
A failure himself in the world view
You and He are strangers in this land

He walked through Hell to find you
He left Heaven behind to become one of you
His peace He gives to you
His Salvation He offers to you

Failure..
Such a dark and dreary word
Yet, it only applies
When an unrepentant sinner dies

WELL SAID!!!!  Very good poem.  If only all would be able to go to Heaven, yet we know that more will go the other way.  Excellent write.  Gave me goosebumps, or what I call Godbumps when it comes to Scripture and the Christian walk.
