God help me bend, help me heal,
You are the truth of love so real.
Light up the world as dark invades,
show the way when sunlight fades.
Lord cast my doubts into the sea,
prepare my soul for eternity.
Give me strength to just say no,
sins washed away in undertow.
Many blessings I have received,
by some others I was deceived.
Saw your footprints upon the sand,
when ever I needed helping hand.
Could never thank You enough,
uplift me when my life gets rough.
Lord in return, all that You ask,
obey Your words in each day's task.
How great thou are, words so true,
for all those who abide with You.
From life's beginning until its end,
You help me heal, help me bend.
Author notes

there are always choices in our life, including to belief there is heaven or not.
but it is better to bring 'heaven' in our daily life by being nice, helpful or even just showing our silly smile

Excellent
A very fine write, as usual. Imagery, rhythm and rhyme are just fine. Their are two phrases in this poem that remind me of another poem and also an old hymn. I'll see if I can find links for you. (Although, I'm pretty sure you are already familiar with both of them.)
Here's a little history on "Footprints":

And the hymn? "How Great Thou Art", of course:
Here's Wikipedia's article on this famous hymn:

You rightly place LORD on the due pedestal..with all this.However,human duties and responsibilities are also a function of the mental and physical abilities awarded to an individual.These have to be attuned in right manner and with right attitude to gain the maximum out of LORD.I think your poem was a terrific effort and I loved reading it.Please visit some of my poetry and offer your comments.
