A poem about messing up and God’s forgiveness.

Lord, I don’t know why you

love me like you do

casue every time I turn around

seems I’m messing up again

Time after time I end up

doing what I don’t want to do

and what I truly want to do

well, You know that I don’t

Oh wretched one that I am

Who can save me from this death

Only you can, only you can.

Every time that I fall down

Lord you pick me up

and each and every time I say

I’ll never do that again

Each time you deliver me

I promise I’ll do better

tomorrow and then tomorrow comes

and I do it all over again

Oh wretched one that I am

Who can save me from this death

Only you can, only you can

And Lord I thank you

that there’s no condemnation

only love and forgiveness

that flows from your face

For I am in you and you are in me

and I bow in surrender to you

as your river of love and life

washes over me

Wretched sometimes, yes I am

But your love has set me free

So even when I don’t do what

I really want to do

You take all of my messes

and make them into

your successes

And for that I thank you Lord

For only you can, only you can

take me from death to life

    Isn’t it the truth though. Falling down in the face of God but the mercy and love that he shares is powerful and awesome. A truly beautiful poem.
