Drifter

Memories so vague etche their way into my mind;
Shattered glass left sinking within the sands of time.
My reflection seems to fade within this life I've known.
I'm seekin something more because I don't want to be alone.
I search for serenity through the chaos of the day
Hoping to find my true self somewhere along the way.
I've traveled many miles to reach this sacred place,
And now I find myself captivated by your grace.
Your words are of great comfort, like I've never known before;
You hold the answers I, for so long tried to implore.
My days lay bare; without your grace I lack the strength to live.
My faith resides in you my Lord; my shelter and my shield.
Days go by with not a trace of the life I've left behind;
Within God's word I find the truth that keeps my faith alive.
Because of you there is life, love and peace unbound.
Because I seek eternity, you have revealed that in you it is found.
This narrow road is treacherous and can be tempting to the bone,
But it's the road I need to take if I seek to find my home.
Bad blood runs through my veins from generations before.
I thought there was no hope for me but you revealed something more.
Broken and bruised, lost and confused I was desperate and alone.
You reached your hand out to me and led me to my home.
Now I find myself at peace without greater purpose; without shame.
The joys of heaven await my soul, for nothing in this world I can claim.
On the brink of heaven and earth here I shall take my stand
As all my family spreads the greatness of your word among the lands.
