Your Grace is Overwhelming
August 27, 2006
Your grace is overwhelming
It brings me to my knees
I bow my head and cry to God
Lord forgive me please.
I have not listened to Your Word
I’ve lived my life my way
I’ve surrounded myself with sinful things
I give them up today
My life has been so full of hurt
Abuse, foul words, and pain
Can You ever forgive me?
Or my very life will you disdain?
How could you forgive such sinful things?
Could this grace I hear about be true?
Jesus did die on the cross
A way for me to You
I knew that you were real my Lord
I was taught of you in church
But my life it got so out of hand
Oh nothing stopped the hurts
I turned to drugs and love of man
To calm the pain of past
But with each new choice I made
I seemed to sink so fast
Deeper in this life of sin
Further from your way
Only when all else had failed
I’d bow my head to pray
But now I seek your face my Lord
I’ve repented for my sins
I now live my life for You
And now my life begins
I hung my head in shame so long
How could you forgive it all?
All the sinful things I’ve done
My Jesus took them all
For I am now forgiven
I’m growing in Your Word
I long to take each breath for You
My gracious Father I now serve
I will share the Grace of God
With everyone I meet
I will tell of His great love
To people on the streets
Your grace is overwhelming
It brings me to my knees
As the tears stream down my face
You’ve given me true peace
Psalm 103:8-13
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious; slow to anger, abounding in love. 9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth. So great is his love for those who fear Him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. 13 As a father has compassion on
His children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him

God's grace is indeed overwhelming, as your poem so aptly describes.

A poem of true repentance. I don't think the scripture at the end was necessary though, it turns the poem into a testimony, but if that's part of your expression let it be.

a poetry should express intense feelings with minimum words.
norepeatations and essay writing is different then poetry.
