my own little world

Jesus...I am in so much pain
I wish that I could make things right
and for you the whole world gain
am I still dreaming in blinded sight?
or are you really here with me?
Jesus...I need you to carry me
through the storms and darkness ahead
will you carry me
when I'm crying myself to sleep in bed
will you lift up my soul
when it  seems as if I've hit at rock bottum
of a deep dungeon hole
and if the sky seems dark today
will you be the light that melts away
every single tear
every single fear
that weakens and burdens me
and help this blinded soul to see
oh Jesus...how do I go on
when all I have in this world
is a tattered book
and a weak spirit of empty passion
will you help me find a reason
to live another day
before my last wish is to pass away
into the everlasting doom
where Grace has found no room
and the angels of light stay far far away
but where the prince of darkness will forever stay
help me Jesus
hold me
keep me hanging on

Love hurts as bad as it feels good.

I do believe that your prayers will be answered as in this poem it is evident you do possess your faith, and there is nothing stronger

i do believe that. if i did not, all i live for and hope for would be shattered into nothing and all i would want to do is die. so i hold on for dear life that i do not stop believing.

I've been here before...
seen it, prayed it, felt it...
The tattered book though, is the words of God himself.
And things may not even get easier...
but there's always hope, and always reason to wait.
Though I too long to hear "well done good and faithful servant"

Amen! honestly this prayer/poem is water under the bridge in some ways, and in other ways it is still something i talk to God about. I know there is always hope. sometime's it's just remembering that's the trick. thanx GG. =) God Bless.

This poem brought tears to my eyes due to something I am going through right now. It's nice to know that you are not the only one that feels that way at times. Thank you for sharing this.

When I read this the word contrition kept coming to mind. With a heart so contrite I know God would never turn away a heart like that. I just know it. He is a good God!!!
Thanks so much for sharing this one. I needed this.
Love,
Terri~

*hugs to all*

whispering wind: i know what you mean, i think i was almost crying when i wrote this...and it is absolutely uplifting to know that i'm not the only one that feels this way sometimes too.

Joyce Johnson: thank you, for sure, i hope that i never let go even to the point of death...the pain we go through now is nothing when we think of the reward we get for enduring through it.


SharaRose: Contrition...now that's a familiar word i have not heard in awhile. thank you for reminding me of that one...*sigh*...your right, God is Good, even when we have been bad he's there ready to forgive.
your welcome =)

God Bless you guys! =)
