Repentance

These three poems were written during a series of crisis' in my life, and they became a bundle to get me through the hard times.

Repentance Plea

Father, how to draw near to thee,

When I feel far away from me?

Daughter of thine, unworthy too.

Is there something for me to do?

My sins have driven me away,

No matter how I longed to stay.

My Lord, My God, wilt thou forgive?

Help me to change the way I live.

The truth seems to have disappeared.

Why not live the way I was reared?

My valiant soul has gone from thee,

So far away from even me.

The things I’ve done, the things I’ve seen,

All the places I’ve ever been.

Buttons I’ve pushed, the things I’ve said,

Sometimes I feel I’m better dead.

Help me to see, please help me to know.

Things I need to do, where to go.

My life seems so pointless and vain,

Why must I live with so much pain?

Help me, Lord, to see the light.

Repentance Answer

Child, your sins are forgiven thee.

Take valiant stand, remember me.

I’ll guide you; I’ll take your hand

If for truth and right you stand.

I love thee, I’ll never leave thee.

Stay close to me, your guide I’ll be.

Hold tight to truths you know are right.

I’ll lead you home into the light.

I gave you life, your Lord am I.

With you I always will be nigh.

Thy Lord, Thy God shall ever be.

To you, my Child, love comes from me.

Stay strong, stay true, I’m on your side.

Hang on tight for your troubled ride.

Please take a valiant stand for me,

Thy sins will be forgiven thee.

Repentance Re-enforcement

Child, thy sins again forgiven thee,

Take valiant stand, still remember me.

Thou my child, wilt never be alone,

Take my hand and I will guide you home.

As you hold to what you know is right,

You know you’ll more often see the light.

I know thee, your weaknesses I see.

Soon your strengths they will become through me.

Again, I love you and care for thee

And still want you to return to me.

With great honor will be thy return

If you love and care for me in turn.

Stand with valiant faith and head held high,

Please remember, Heaven’s always nigh.

I will be with thee, forever near

I will keep thee safe, my child dear.

Once more, thy sins are forgiven thee.

Keep thy valiant stand and soon you’ll see

That I am far closer than you know.

Reach up, take my hand, your faith will show.
