repeated sins, repeated prayer (Free verse) by oneglove
I hope You like this one Father
Since Youâve heard it plenty of times before
And though it isnât 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
Itâs not an if but a when
The demonâs found the fault line
Itâs 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?
Itâs 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
Iâve beat myself down
But his black heart wonât 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
Donât 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
