SURVIVED BY GRACE
Struck down by the sorrows of this world,
Worrying about when the next misfortune will set in,
Persecuted by my thoughts daily and felt abandoned,
Criticizing myself for not being able to keep up with the pace,
Questioning my existence, forgetting I had plans and God’s will for me,
What a looser I was, thinking when death will pay a visit,
Often lost in my thoughts, questioning God, “What a promise keeper HE was”?
Folks pestering me with their needs and never considering how fit I was,
So long as they think I, I must and should,
An afterthought was who I had always been to them.
I gave up on myself, the very me that never actually gave a hoot,
How can I redeem myself when I don’t have everything I need?
I failed drastically by not saving the stress and torments of hell in real life,
Then I am reminded of GRACE, and I surrendered wholly to turn to God,
I said to myself I’d do my part and let God do His,
Reminding myself how far I had come if not for His grace,
So I asked Him to bless and favor me with love and peace.
I defeated all these torments because He’s my victory,
And with Him, I Can get and have everything I need.
His GRACE abounds for me. I survived.
