A CONFESSION OF MY BROKEN HEART

by Dreamy Poetess

How could this be, oh Lord? How come You still love me?

I am never the person that I ought to be.

How could I let transgression take a hold of me?

Oh why have You been so patient like what I see?

When I have surrounded myself with the wrong things,

And followed my deceitful heart with its cravings,

You've watched over me in all of my wonderings;

Though You were not on my mind during the mornings.

How can I be so blind that I had never seen,

Such a very dangerous road from where I'd been?

How could I, that I had never observed so keen,

The ways that I had followed before were unclean.

I was sinking in insanity and madness.

In the world I sought after love and happiness,

Even though they are lacking in Your Righteousness.

Still when I fell, You responded with FORGIVENESS.

Now I have come Lord, listen to my REPENTANCE.

Why, I'm a sinner but still have Your acceptance?

I know what I need now is Your deliverance.

You gave me more when I only asked for a chance.
