Words that sustain
I often reached for bemoan
Through all the times I’d fade
Empty it seemed except skin and bone
Left to fear life and face death more afraid
Sleepless in the middle of the nights groan
Faith, hope, and love seemed lost with no protective shade
I’ve sown sin to lose oppressed
Beyond what reaped dismay
Purpose and vision wept
Death just to deflate
Felt a living hell would overthrow
Survive with my will pleading for HIS mercy, grace, and compassion to mend
Words I say
Not my own alone
Try as I may with faith
In HIS Words of life again sown
Will somehow portray
New life grown
To gain one day
I’ve shown with proof refreshed
Beyond what can betray
Purpose and vision dreamt
Death has to wait
For when HE says it so
Alive until then
Not just empty words array
To build a wall of stone
Lay bare in open air to catch SON’s ray
Of hope that will atone
Not to take away
The pain you’ve known
Suicidal thoughts try to sway
I’ve known this too attest
Beyond nightmares into stray
Purpose and vision leapt
Death can’t equate
To the reward to come when overcome to overflow
Arrive to fulfill in Heaven
Words inspired from above convey
To build up lives broken down hone
In until find the Light I try and persuade
You to continue to fight in the zone
Of proximity ignite into HIS love upgrade
Will stand upright once again blown
Away that you made it this far evade
I’ve grown convinced drew breath
Beyond what I ask or imagine obey
Purpose and vision kept
Death I can relate
To now meant to be when letting go
Of the world’s hold that would decay
Thrive to instill faith, hope, and love befriend
