So He stretched out his hand and he said " take it "
So scared I was because I've been sinful
Drifted away from his presence
Drowning in my own sins
It was choking
Even though he made me fearless
I was clothed in iniquity
So I stood tremulous
For I had been living days without his light
I was blind
Even his words said "Ask and it shall be given to" you but I dare not ask
Scared his wrath might remember me
For at a point I felt I had been shunned by Him
Constant betrayals from people I trusted
Numerous problems with people I thought I could die for
So I got lost
Stolen by sin
Blinded by life
and these flashy things it showed me
I knew I was doomed but I felt okay with that
For I had no one around.
Just shattered dreams and broken thoughts
ill gotten money and this liquor to bury my fears...
Every night I try to stay afloat but I kept going down into unclean waters
I needed true friends but all I had were lovers of wealth...
Women of various shapes
Caribbean Ethiopian Italian Nigerian
But I was lost
If only someone would find me
Call me to say they genuinely had thoughts of me
It was a lot on me
I was in this hole and then this voice from this light came to me
it said
"Be your sins as red as scarlet
Take my hands and I shall make you white as snow......"
This voice from the light gave me assurances from the book of life.
Said that even when I strayed he loved me the most
Waiting on me to come to terms with myself and ask for help.
There and then did I recall the words of the Holy book which says
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
nor punished us according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
(Psalm 103:10-12)
With My trembling legs and quivering mouth I asked
Who am I that you love me this much...
And I heard
The offspring of the most high
Walk with me let me take you places,
deep you in clean waters
and restore your soul......
WASTED, SAVED AND RENEWED
