FALLING FROM GRACE
By K A Graaf
O God, catch me, I am falling
I cannot even hear your voice calling
You seem to be distant
and so far away
I am struggling and battling
just to make it through the day
How far will you allow me to slip?
How far will you let me go?
Help me God!
Will you bottle these tears of mine,
which are now beginning to flow?
Why did you allow me to come this far?
and now it seems
I have nothing to boast about
but my shameful defeat
I have tried to stay strong
and keep the faith
but now I am afraid
I will slip from the grip of your grace
Discouragement has overwhelmed me
dark clouds have blown over so thick
I am finding it hard to see
Why is my soul downcast?
Why do I feel this ache inside my heart?
Why am I at this place?
Where I dont even want to see
people face to face
Why do I want to hide
and conceal what I feel inside?
God, O God, I am falling
I am slipping fast
Please God, come and encourage
my weary mind, soul and heart
I dont know what to do
I am out of answers; I havent got a clue
What seems to be the real problem?
Answer me God, quickly!
before I go to the places I dont want to be
My strength has been completely drained
and it seems I am in some sort of soul pain
I know you can answer me and tell me why
I feel what I am feeling, deep down inside
O God, catch me before I fall from your grace
I dont want to be in this isolated place
I need you now, more than ever
God, are you using this time
to bring my heart to complete surrender?
God, you know I love you
and you know I hate to do
what I dont want to do
I am as weak as a flower
tossed about by the wind
I am a wretch
and need your mercy and love
to release me from my bondages of sin
I know you have heard me
and you will catch me before I fall
Even though I cant see in this storm,
I know you have heard
the desperation of my call
God, I need you, more than the air I breathe
You are the satisfier of my soul
and I know you can fulfil my every need
I need you to fill my empty cup
until it overflows
I need you God
more than anyone would ever know
I dont want to shame your name
and cause Jesus to suffer public disgrace
I need your power to do what I cannot do
were it not for your matchless Grace
I am a human being and you know
my biggest weakness is my flesh
I will trust and hold onto to you
with all my might
and then let your Grace do the rest
Have mercy upon me,
and pour out your grace upon me, O God
I know I am a sinner
But, in everything and through everything
there is one thing I am not,
A quitter.
I will hold your hand tightly, O God
and I will stand firm in my faith
So, that I will never fall away from you
and be removed from
the boundaries of your Grace.
I understand that your Grace
does not give me an excuse for my sin
It is the power from GOD,
which I am supernaturally given
to do what is not possible
in my human capabilities
It is Gods power to do
what doesnt come to me, naturally
I know who I am
and without His grace,
I couldnt possibly stand
I am now repentant before HIM
Because I know
Grace was not given
to excuse my sin
GRACE is given to me
to do what I cannot do by myself
GRACE was given because God knew
my flesh is weak
and I would always need His help
Psalm 51
