Thoughts
My thoughts and my dreams,
My motions and my ways.
They come and go,
back and forth, to and fro.
I do not expect recognition from anyone,
For I myself do not know, am I alone?
My feelings and selfish desires,
Burn holes of grief through my soul.
I think to myself that I am trying for God,
Yet when I glare at my being, humbleness is gone.
Why do these feelings keep coming back,
These lusts that bury me so that I lack?
My soul wanders over the restless waves,
Like the wind that blows upon unmarked graves.
I feel alone yet can that be true,
My heart is surrounded by temptations not of You.
How will I survive without You by my side,
How can I come back with sin grining at me wide?
You have plans destined for this life,
You will make a way to draw me from my strife.
I do not understand why You keep Your eyes upon me,
Your heart carries only the desires to set me free.
You do not hold grudges to the things we do wrong,
Even though we turn again and again to the wicked song.
Why do we break down this temple that You have created,
Why are we not building with the strength You gave when You died?
You rose to give us eternal freedom from death of sin,
The life You supply assures us of Your power within.
