I NEED THEE

Poems are great. I never really liked to read poems untill a few years ago. I haven't read to many for awhile but I would like to read more and write more. I feel that writing poems is a great way to put in to words what flows from ones heart. I decided to share(if anyone reads this blog, ha) one of the poems I have written about a year ago.

I NEED THEE

Lost and alone gone far away;
Why did I choose to go astray?
The dark inside has come again;
The sins I left haunt me again;

What kind of soul is one like me?
The fruit I ate came from that tree;
The tree that you forbid me taste;
Yet I have ate and come to waste;

My soul is torn and broke apart;
I sigh and feel heavy of heart;
My tears of shame flow from my eye;
I feel as if my life’s a lie;

I find that death has come to me;
Yet in my blood you made me see;
When by your Call told me to Live!
True Joy is found to only give;
My soul, my heart, my everything;
To live for you the one true King;

Oh Lord’ draw me forevermore;
To come to that celestial shore;
Keep me O’ Lord from falling away;
So prone to wonder, to go astray;

I need thee Lord in every part;
I need thee Lord transform my heart;
I need thee Lord when all is through;
I need thee Lord you’ve made me new!
