Nov 2013
You're choking on your troubles, Engulfed by all your panic,
You're making plans that keep failing,
Your thought patterns are manic,
You don't know how to cope,
With life scratching at your heels,
And your sadness has made marks,
Scars that simply don't heal,
You tell them that you're drowning,
And all they can say is "Swim faster!"
But at this time remember,
Your life Guard walks on water,
He's taken care of your worries,
That you laid at his feet,
And He's fought all your battles,
God knows no defeat,
All your troubles and your panic,
He'll wipe the slate clean,
He absorbed all your sin,
Before you even came into being,
He created you human,
And as humans we have flaws,
But God doesn't turn us away,
Infact He opens His doors,
He made us with intentions,
A pathway of greatness,
It comes with its problems,
But with God you can take this,
He's show'n us with Ephesians 6,
The Armor Of God,
Is what we need to stand righteous,
Even though we are flawed,
Now I know what you're thinking,
"My flaws are too great,
For this God to still love me,
I'm only a mistake."
Now the only mistake,
Is what you've just said,
Because its for You that he died,
And then rose from the dead,
Our God has no fine print,
No way he won't accept you,
Because he planned your path ahead,
And in seeing his end, he still died for you!
Now none of us are sinless,
And that's why we were saved!
We were not made perfect,
But we were perfect enough to be made!
