Wherever I go

[Emli]

I am a wanderer, just like You
But my pathways are split in two
I take the wrong, though Your path is right
And walk in the dark, yet You are my Light

I follow the trail, where I stumble and fall
Yet You come to help me, whenever I call
When I climb too high, or fall too low
You walk there beside me, wherever I go

The path gets crooked, and I fall down a pit
Lonely and frightened and helpless I sit
My skin is bruised and my bones are broken
I'm bit by a serpent, and a curse is spoken

I'm losing this battle, I can't win this fight
Yet a Light is shining, so strong, so bright
I feel You reaching and grabbing my hand
Lifting me, healing me, helping me stand

You lead me back and you comfort me
Lead me to the path where I should be
I’ll surely stray again, but I know
You walk there beside me, wherever I go

Thank you, Lord, for giving me the words to express what You are doing for me, when I can barely make sense of it myself!

I really like this poem. Very nicely written!

 

[mozo41]

love it ... here is one I wrote the other day ... its my first poem I have written

drag on drag on and draw me in
cut me no slack till I turn my back
gather me in by scattering me out
oh my Father let out that shout

I love it. It's very powerful.

Yet a Light is shining, so strong, so bright

Lead me to the path where I should be

This reminds me of "Hinds Feet on High Places" and our Shepherd's patience and tenderness and leading of Much-Afraid, just as HE leads each of us. He is a GOOD Shepherd. How many times have i wandered, fallen down, gotten banged up, mussed hair, and yet He rescued my messy, banged up self.

I could picture what you wrote...it sorta' "came to life" for me.

It's powerful and precious.

God bless you.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Exceptional!

Some of you guys shock me real good. I mean that would probably take me a good month to write something as good as that...wait... what am I talking about, I can't write.

 

[Emli]

Thanks, guys! I'm so happy you enjoyed it.
It just flowed out of me as I was praising Him. It was all His work.

I will reply again to this poem, as to me it was like reading this in a more new way now.

It is definitively a beautiful poem! Powerful as well! Shows God's greatness as well as faithfulness!
