As The World Turns…
The sands that comprise me
Are slowly dissipating in this old hourglass
and are becoming lost in the whirlwind
The allies that once walked beside me
have trodden new paths
The elements that fuel their happiness
do not include me
Those who remain close to me
are merely a phone call away
Yet, too far away for me to lean on
during my time of need
I’ve fallen so many times lately that
my knees are scuffed and bleeding
and I can no longer stand alone
[Might as well speak with the Lord again while I’m down here]
Although things may not go my way
I’m grateful
For He makes it so, I may live to pray
yet, another day
Heavenly Father,
the bad guys always seem to win
They weaken the hearts and minds
of the world’s most beautiful people
and bathe in their confusion
I’ve been a champion in war against them
and have won many battles in Your name
Yet, I’m simply a man
and my body has been weakened
from the battle scars accumulated over the years
these pains in my heart have subdued me
the devils of this world have abused me
My feet are planted in Your word
so come what may
they cannot move me!
