Lord..thank You

Finding a high
But would come down feeling lower,
Cells killed off
Brain processing slower

Instead of walking the path of love
I was crippled by my own hate,
Slept around and stayed out late.

I was lost under the surface
Without purpose

One foot out and one foot in the grave,
One side of my conscience telling me to get high
The other telling me I can be saved.

Forceful aging,
I cried to the lord...”HELP ME IM FADING!”

I lied
I cheated
I stole,
But I was embraced by your grace
And once again made whole!

The devil leaded me astray,
Then God filled me with his Love and leaded me to my hands and knees to pray.

Our Lord is good
Our lord is yours
Our Lord is Love….
.…Have a word with him if you have just had enough

------- Author's Notes -------

Hi all.

The devil has been biting at my heels for the past year.
I was born again on the 24th of November thanks to our ever loving god. He has pulled down all barriers that once blocked me from him.

He has also helped me start writing again.

Do not ever give up people, just trust and open those arms.

God bless
