What really happened to me?
I thought I was on my post but obviously I fell asleep
It was such a fall and it was extremely steep
I know that satan desired to sift me like wheat
I thought I had it all together living a good life
But I was wrong he  took me out without much of a fight
Before I knew it I failed my faith
And started. Stealing Abusing Substances and lying to people face
I betrayed God and especially My Church
I had sown so much pain and so much hurt
I've Cried to God asking him to please forgue me
I knew I was lost and no longer wanted to be Bound by my Choices weighted. down by my past
A Shadow of sorrow too heavy to last
I searched for a lifeline a shimmer of grace
To find restoration and stand in my place
For true understanding I knelt on my knees
To find absolution and put my heart at ease.
Though I have stumbled and Strayed from the way
I Seek his compassion each and everyday
The path of redemption though winding and long
I pray for the strength to right every wrong
Each step of this journey where I truly belong
With the strength  hope and belief to carry on
