A different way to go

by mckenzie   Aug 29, 2009


To think that I've tried so hard
Only to end up here,
It's so depressing sometimes

I thought I left it all behind

Striking at me all over again
The past is now my foe
What was, should be no more

I've got a different way to go

Sitting here silent
Tears streaming down
Got to go through this once more

Can't lose out on your grace

The world I run from
Was once my life
Everything I wanted
Was for myself
But fall into pride
And pride makes it's fall
Till I get so down
I'm below it all

Running away from everything
Hiding from all that I love
Feeling my fallen state of being
Regret and remorse is that I feel

And I'm sitting here
But I'm no longer silent

When I remember your grace
I get this feeling
That I'm not meant to live this way

And as I look inside myself
I'm so sorry I failed you
Lord, be the ONE in my life
Bring me back to the point
Of my dependence on you

For you are greater than I
You are all that I need

    Oh Gosh...This piece is tearing me apart for i could feel the pain while writing this down and the effort to release all these emotions. I was in that state where only God was the closest, the only one, my bestfriend, and who never gave up on me after all those things..Its mysterious how it would ease your pain right after you speak to him without having the need of physical appearances..Hope you are ok now Matt..

    Beautiful! :)
    You should run to Him when you feel sad, always. He will always be there to wrap His arms around you. I've said that before, and it's beyond true.
    This was a beautiful write, I'm surprised nobody has commented yet!
    5/5 :)
