Confession (Part 2)A Poem by Derek BarnesA continuation of this series of poems called "Confession".
Everyday turns out to be a tug of war for my soul/ God wants the best for me, but I still fight for control/ the devil convinces me to follow a path that doesn't appear as destruction/ and I fall victim to a vision that doesn't show me all the corruption/ I've done been down this path before, yet I always find my way back/ it's a battlefield in my mind and the enemy is always on the attack/ my defense runs to my rescue whether I'm acknowledging him or not/ reminding me that things would go better if I'd just let him call the shots/ yeah, I'm exposing myself as the imperfect Christian that I am/ if I ever fully quit on him, no way, I'll be eternally damned/ i refuse to hear him say depart from me, I never knew you/ so Lord please remember me even when I fail cause I love you too/ this relationship isn't flawless, but Lord I know that you are/ so I beg you please draw me back to you whenever I begin to stray too far/ I know I've given up on you, but you never quit on me/ because you've had a plan for me even before my beginning/ so take this heart and life of mine and paint a beautiful picture with it/ don't let depression destroy a work of art before you've finished it..
