#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

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.

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.
