Father in Heaven,
I give myself to you...
For this is all I am,
"Un-Humble
Un-Caring and Un-relenting,
Merciless and Un-Forgiving,
Un-motivated and disinterested.
A liar, a cheat, a thief,
a murderer, a blasphemer, an adulterer.
A racist, a sexist, and a sadistic, sinister, sadist.
I prey on the weak, I plot against your people
I am prideful in all ways you say I shouldn't be.
I disregard your word, I displace your convictions
and I destroy myself and those around me.
I'm careless, apathetic and angry.
I am absent, rejected, and distracted.
Despite my iniquities, disregarding my transgressions,
You Love Me...
Me... your creation.
I've hated you, I've harmed you,
I've ignored you and injured you!
I've stabbed you in the back a thousand times over...
Yet still... you forgive me a thousand times more.
Father...
I'm desperate, degraded, downright destroyed.
I'm sinful, I'm wicked, I'm spiritually devoid.
I'm lost, I'm lonely, I'm locked up and left out!
I'm dying for your love, which you've offered throughout.
I'm a sinner, I'm sorry, It was my fault you were slain.
But through all my decadence you've Loved me the same.
It's taken so long for me just to see,
The only thing alienating You was Me.
You Love, You Cherish, You Forgive and Forget,
You're steadfast, You're strong willed, You aleve me of my debt.
You're my Savior, My Saint, My Solace and Safe place
Lord God I desire to one day see your face.
Forgive me for my Sin, Lord You must understand
This is it, Father, This is All I am."
Love,
-- Man

Sinners we all are, treason against God we have all committed, unworthy of his love and forgiveness, worthy of damnation in the depths of Hell, but He offers the former to spare us the latter. great poem good luck and God bless.

the Lord suffered on the cross at calvary for our sins to be forgotten , he is the only one that can deliver us from our sins and he knows our hearts and our thoughts before we even do , so no matter what you do in this life there is forgiveness if you ask and repent for it , i like this write alot , thanks for sharing it with me
