#backsliding
Given the greenlight, to study of your word Yet I avoid it vehemently, pretend it didn't occur I fear who I'd become, when I learnt the full context And that I'd have to change for the better, sin to have no concept It was comfortable blaming circumstance, for rotting away But I knew you would find me eventually one day Sin is fun surely, but grace is the greatest judgment An unfair love that cares and needs no substance The father only elects those he sees light in And hide it all we want, eventually he has to come in He never forces the door open, nor does he call our name He watches and loves us still, even when we bring him to shame How selfish I am, to ignore the homeless and save money for snacks How foolish am I to waste away when many lack your words effect How desperate i am, to spend late nights avoiding your calling How ironic it must be, that you waited, even while I was stalling Ever the presence you never let up hope When I forgot how to climb you gave me the rope Your sheep are starving, they yearn for your word The very same I fasted off, when I ran away from the herd Forgive me for my ignorance, may I glorify you with all my might For all the times of half hearted repentance, when you saw my tears at night May the lessons instilled in me, be spread like seeds in a field And may I live to see the fruit of my labour, and my children come to yield

I hear you christ
Let my hands still hold on You oh keeper of my soul. My dreams hang around You but my will seems sold. My heart is heavy for i'm reaping the setback I've sowed. Please invigorate my being once again to lift up my soul, For the battle is still and the reward is that crown of old. How then lose I a portion I have for long wanted to hold? Give me assistance anew oh loving Father. Be it me among your children once again when there's a gather. Oh mercy my Maker! Let my prayer prompt peace within me. For my heart war against my mind; Feshly desires being the mastermind. If my crave for You can't win me your presence, Consider the blood because it cannot lose it's essence. For am he who was bought with the ever valuable blood. In it am forever clad.

Backslider's Prayer
I kissed the devil for a brief moment of ecstasy But lost my heavenly treasure. And now I stand outside the gates On my knees, one last time Hoping You’ll forgive me once more.
