repeated sins, repeated prayer (Free verse) by oneglove
I hope You like this one Father Since You’ve heard it plenty of times before And though it isn’t my intentions Be ready to hear the same lines again Repeated sins and repeated prayers Never seal my rift from You My unrepentant heart will kill me some day It’s not an if but a when The demon’s found the fault line It’s off the Richter scale The ravine is expanding And swallowing more lives as it grows How many will be caught in its ruin? How many will I drag into the abyss? It’s out of my hands; I can never stop the destruction But will it be too late when I turn to You? I know You are the answer But do I truly believe? Am I ready to stop my pointless struggle? And let You carry me to safety I’ve beat myself down But his black heart won’t let me submit I fear my own demise And I fear that is his plan Heal my wounds, my Jesus Hold my hand Lead me from my precipice Don’t let me fall, save me from myself Heal me Jesus Turn my mind to You I am so weak, so inadequate Show me mercy Allow your grace to flow over me This is my prayer, my plea

Up the ladder: One Lump Or Two?
Down the ladder: Hope, Approximately

Last Stanza, "Allow 'Your' grace", other than that, a nice prayer. -8-

By posting this prayer on a public prayer ranking website, you've definitely increased your chances of getting into heaven. Well done!

Prayer is ok but have you tried heroin? Honestly it is the panacea!
