Falling From Grace

Missing image

 FALLING FROM GRACE

 

Always taking the path of least resistance
For I haven't the strength to carry through
Too many scars buried not forgotten
Lord please show me the way back to you

The hills have become a little steeper
The road  has became winding and long
Searching my heart for forgiveness
Fr the pain I caused when I did wrong

I keep searching my heart every morning
Always praying to you Lord each night
I look to you for wisdom and guidance
Please Lord now make everything right

The hands of time have me yearning
For a time when innocence lived within
Now I feel so lost and so unworthy
As my fall from grace reflects my sin

As I search my soul I feel forgotten
Like the black sheep who left the fold
But God is always searching for me
To reach out His hand for me to hold

So lift me up Lord with your goodness
For your love promises of life ever after
Take these dark clouds and shine your light
Change these tears to smiles and laughter

    Sandygram...you have a way with words. Thanks for sharing this, it brings back so many memories and thoughts...good and bad. I've certainly been there, feeling unworthy, but as creature of God's you are made worthy though his sacrifice. Nice poem!

    very beautiful
    has a nice flow, etc, almost nothing to add, but:
    "for your love promises of life ever after"
    sounds a bit odd for me^^..
    anyway, still a very beautiful poem

    This is incredible. To me there is no God, I'm sorry if this offends you. I just don't have the faith and I really admire people who do. This was well written and explains much too me. Some people would say it's too long, but I would disagree. Well done, love it. LOve bex xxx

    We all feel that we slide away from God at times. I know I do and I think what I have come to realize is that I grow every time I turn back to Him. You express these feelings with a gracious proclamation of your need for His hand and that is what I see at the core of this lovely poem. Deeply felt. Beautifully penned.

    Just one quick thing first. In line three ("too many scars buried not forgotten")there seems to be something missing to me. A comma somewhere, or a helping verb. I'm not sure, it may just be me

    Anyway, the title reminded me of a rock song, but this is the opposite of that. The rhymes were great too. I'm sure many people could relate to this, even people who aren't religious. A beautiful write.

    I truly enjoyed reading this poem. It is very beautiful. "The hands of time have me yearning
    for a time when innocence lived within
    for now I feel so lost and so unworthy
    as my fall from grace reflects my sin" I have felt this same way many times, and I'm sure that others have as well. Thankfully, we have a kind, forgiving God that doesn't turn his children away. Great write!

    How beautiful .. most religious poems don't catch me like this one has! I too have felt this way and your line "for now I feel so lost and so unworthy" has flowed through my heart so many times. Life is tough and can lead you down some strange roads but the Lord is with you always. Don't ever forget that! Seek Him within your heart and there you will find Him!

    My dear, I've shared your sadness and hopeless, believe me, and the words you write here are emotions I've carried heavily. Always look up, never lose faith, and always know that He is there and will continue to be by your side, even when you feel you're at your most lost. Bittersweetly sad this write is, but so incredibly poignant.

I'm doing ok myself these days, sometimes just hanging on, but the light is always there.. Be well dear one, you are always in my prayers, much, much love to you and God Bless, Annie

    It matters not the road of past
    that we have walked along
    For today is a brand new day
    for us to right the wrong

    For failure is just a mere act
    of when we stop or pause
    But each day a new light gleams
    and shows us of our cause

    So if our feet we do plant firm
    in the direction we seek in end
    Then eventually that point we'll reach
    one day I'm sure, my friend

    Hugs...Eddy

    Sandy...
    This is another wonderfully written poem from you. Excellent. Outstanding. Fantastic. These are all words that come to mind. This was perfect in everyway.
    Renewing our selves to Jesus everyday, that's the key to walking with God. Yesterday is gone and in the past.We can't do anything to change it. Today is here, the present. What we do here may affect the future and tomorrow is the future. Let it worry about itself. Keep the ink flowing. Love and hugs...

    superb

    each and every day we must pick up our cross and carry our battles to our Lord to witness to our Father what it is to lay down for our needs to be met next and in this hour he does hear your plea....
    this poem is of great yearning to carry you to the nexr step of the road in your longing for the Christ in you does know what it is you need.
    I love the meter and flow of this fine and delicate piece that so many of us face daily.
    *hugs*

    This was very pretty. The rhythm was great and the rhyming nearly perfect. The whole thing was pretty, and it was all kind of like a sigh. I liked it!
