(I tried a poem like blog this time)
I’m Afraid
I’m afraid
I’m afraid of the road ahead
I’m afraid of myself
Afraid of what I am capable of doing, feeling, saying or thinking
I’m afraid that I will fall back to the same old ways
The same old empty vessel I used to be
I’m afraid of the road ahead
I’m afraid of myself
I’m afraid I will hold onto this sin I created forever
I’m afraid to let go
I’m afraid to love a God who will love me back…relentlessly
I’m afraid of the Lord’s incessant forgiveness
Because I can’t even begin to forgive myself
So how can God forgive me?
I’m afraid of the road ahead
I’m afraid that I will never live up to God’s purpose for me
I’m afraid that I will disappoint Him and he will turn His face from me
I’m afraid I will never be what He has planned for me to be
I live in this fear
I let it rule my heart, thoughts and actions
This dark clouds hover over me and haunt me day and night
How can I break free?
I’m afraid
I’m afraid of the road ahead
It’s lonely, dark and seems to never end
I’m afraid of myself
I’m afraid
I’m afraid of the road ahead
Then I see a clearing in the dark clouds
And I see His hands reaching down to me
Telling me it will be alright
He scoops me up into His arms
I don’t need to be afraid
That all I need to do is to ask for His mercy
To ask for His grace
To ask for His strength
To ask Him to fill me with His Spirit
And to only begin to understand and take in that He will ALWAYS be there for me
And that He can take all my fears away when I ask
And that He will place His Spirit; mercy, grace and strength inside of me when I ask
And that He promises to NEVER leave me
I’m not afraid anymore because I realize I’ve been down that road full of fear
It was lonely, dark and seemed to never have an end
But I took a turn
I finally stopped being afraid of God and His unconditional love
Because that love seems unfathomable
Because it is; it is that good and unimaginable
And God believes I deserve nothing less
I’m finally on the right road; into God’s arms
His unconditional and abounding love
That only He can give
I’m afraid no longer
And I am hopeful for the road that lies ahead
I’m afraid
I’m afraid of the road ahead
I’m afraid of myself
Afraid of what I am capable of doing, feeling, saying or thinking
I’m afraid that I will fall back to the same old ways
The same old empty vessel I used to be
I’m afraid of the road ahead
I’m afraid of myself
I’m afraid I will hold onto this sin I created forever
I’m afraid to let go
I’m afraid to love a God who will love me back…relentlessly
I’m afraid of the Lord’s incessant forgiveness
Because I can’t even begin to forgive myself
So how can God forgive me?
I’m afraid of the road ahead
I’m afraid that I will never live up to God’s purpose for me
I’m afraid that I will disappoint Him and he will turn His face from me
I’m afraid I will never be what He has planned for me to be
I live in this fear
I let it rule my heart, thoughts and actions
This dark clouds hover over me and haunt me day and night
How can I break free?
I’m afraid
