I Find Myself Running Back To You Again

I wrote this when I was at a low point in my personal faith.

When things go tumbling down the hill

Life stops at a dead end

And faith becomes frozen when exposed to this chill

Leaving me trying to comprehend.

In how a God who’s gracious to all

Can still even love me

Even though I often refuse His call

And I start to flee,

Down the road that’s far and wide

I run from grace alone

But yet you still have a way to find

In me what was once a beautiful stone.

Though I keep running, running from you

Thinking I lost you far behind

Somewhere down this road I run into,

A dead end I did not expect to find.

I guess my way is not so fun

I’m trying to dig myself out of this dark den

Because no matter how far I run

I find myself running back to you again.

Author's Note

Another one I found from just having to look through my journals from 2008. I have a set collection of old poetry that I wrote years ago that I keep in a folder. I don't know how this one didn't make it into that folder. I still have some other journals I need to get into. Who knows what poetry I have written in the others.

Divine love
The truest of all
When we love God
We know and learn of true love
The way to the creator is the way to truthiness
to honesty
that everyone around us can enjoy
an open heart
