I'm Drowning

by Carlee Ann   Mar 17, 2005


Lord, I need you now more than ever,
I don’t have the faith I had before
I can’t handle all of this
I’m worsening more and more

I’m surrounded by all the lies
I’m choking on all the sin
I don’t know where else to turn,
I need you to fix me, again

Lord, I’m drowning
Don’t let me sink this low
I’m cracked, broken, useless
So to you I turn, I go

I really need your help
I need your undeserved love now
I’m suffocated by my humanness,
To your superiority, I bow

I’m blindfolded by all of the hate
It’s like I’m reaching out in front of me
For someone other than you
Please help me to see.

I never fail to disappoint you
I fall and cheat and stumble
But you never leave me
You pull me out of trouble

I don’t what I would do without you
I don’t want to think about that, though
I know you’ll never dismiss me
You hold my broken soul

I put my life in your hands
It’s true, in God I trust,
Just help me to climb out of this dirty pool
Of sin, lost hope, and lust

I can’t emerge without you near
Without you, I’ll drown
Jesus, help me, save my heart
I can’t sink any further down

All I can do is take,
You gave all you had to give
You came to die for me
Help me – in you I live.

    Wow, girl, that was fantastic!!! I thought i already commented, but I guess I just forgot. Um.....that was beautiful. Really touching, and No, I that poem wasn't true. I was never raped and I'm soo thankful for that, never been close. I think I intimidate guys, or I hang around them too much. I'm too strong for any of them to try to pull that crap on me.
