Prophet, Liar or Saint.A Poem by Josh Anderson
As I walk through this valley of sin that I paved
No mercy grant me , I'm beyond being saved I've walked this road blindly, just waiting to see How long could I walk this road of agony Before the fire, before the flames God leave me to my sin and my shame Am I lost in your eyes Have I spent all my chances, is it too late to atone for my lies To cast off my mask Thats all that I ask To wear my own face Before I'm disgraced The road to hell is paved with good intentions And all the thoughts we never thought to mention No more regrets This is the only life we get Spend it wisely before you stand before the throne You could judge others for their sins, but what about your own Whats my destiny , what's my fate How much more can this heart stand before it breaks It has bent, it has strained Until nothing but love and hate remained I ask you Father, what's to become of me Can I look into the stars and see my destiny Is this life a battlefield, are we just the soldiers Where is the cross I'm to carry upon my shoulders Where is the path I am to walk, on fire or on rain Am I to be a prophet, a liar, or a Saint What am I chosen in your eyes to be Just a self fulfilling prophecy © 2014 Josh Anderson |
