I am not Your Savior

I am not your savior
But I feel I know Him well
If only you could smile
While life slowly turns to Hell

I am not your savior
But Abba Father knows I try
I hope you're holding on somehow
I know you want to die

I am not your savior
God knows I wish I was
So much pain hides in your laughter
Here's a tissue just because

I am not your savior
Though I feel I know him well
Please trust Him to save you
From this life and Hell

Author notes

This piece was inspired today by one, but it's written for many, many people. I can't help everyone. I can't make everyone smile. I can't take away everyone's pain. Sometimes I wish  could. Well, most of the time I wish I could. I'll be a full fledged youth pastor soon, and I'm starting to wonder if I have the mental fortitude to be able to stand it. I can barely help one person, much less a class-room full. I guess this is where I get to see what I'm really made of, and how much more God is made of. All I really want is to make life better for people some how...Hopefully it doesn't tear me apart.

So...does my first try in over a year suck?lol

    excellent

    I think this is how a lot of people feel, they try to be everything to everyone (I think those are song lyrics?). But it's really hard to realize that we are not the ones in control and to learn to trust God and just let go.
    I really liked this poem, I think it was well done and a lot of people will be able to relate to it.
    Good luck as a youth pastor...I think that you will do what you want to do and help people.

    It does not suck at all Nathan! Oi long time no see! You have penned an awesome poem here! It's true we can't save everyone, but if we can at least make a difference in one person's life, well then that's worth something. Great job! -Liz
