Thought I Would Try Writing Again

[Just_A__Follower]

I used to love writing poetry and songs as a kid then I decided to run from God at 16 and haven’t written anything since. Figured I’d try to pick it back up after 26 years. Jotted this one down on one of my flights this week.

For without you what is left
Every time I lose sight I feel the death
That feeling that once thrived inside me
Only darkness no light not able to see
Without you I would still remain there
But now the pain of Your absence I cannot bear

So hold me Lord pull me from the water
Without You I don’t want to live
Never let me go no matter what
Without you I don’t want to live
The love of my life and the life of my love

The temptation beats on my door
He won’t stop til I’m on the floor
He won’t stop til I’m blind to the highest
It’s his mission to kill and divide us

So hold me Lord pull me from the water
Without You I don’t want to live
Never let me go no matter what
Without you I don’t want to live
The love of my life and the life of my love

So now I’m on my knees again before Thee
Praying for You to restore the strength inside me
Fill me up sanctify and breath into me
Don’t stop until You’re all I see

So hold me Lord pull me from the water
Without You I don’t want to live
Never let me go no matter what
Without you I don’t want to live
The love of my life and the life of my love

Good for you. Keep writing as God leads.

I forgot how much joy it brought writing when I was young. Wrote another tonight. Guess I’ll just keep posting them all in the same thread.



For all the bad things that happened I just blamed You,
Lost sight of You and ran further and further as I grew.

Thought all was going well but I was headed down,
Having the time of my life unknowingly hell bound.

It wasn’t until I hit the bottom and saw the darkness,
That I finally realized I had become completely heartless.

But a light appeared out of the dark and You grabbed my hand,
The warmth of Your love is the only thing that lead me to stand.

At first the conviction brought so much shame and guilt,
As I began to realize I had destroyed the soul You built.

Slowly Your love took the shame and guilt away,
And I can feel what I destroyed being rebuilt day by day.

Thank You God for all that You’ve done,
I would still be at the bottom if not for the Son.
