Without Your Grace

I cannot speak
the words are gone
I am afraid
I am not strong

I tried so hard
to sing Your praise
I can't, alone
without Your Grace

You stand before me
arms outstretched
and calling
calling me to seek Your face
But how can I look for You
when I'm getting in the way?

You pursue me
I don't know why
I can't follow
although I try

I need your grace
to reach my heart
to hold me tight
fill every part

Lord I'm falling
falling out of reach
of anyone but You

Lord hold me
I'm asking You to heal me
to make me new

You stand before me
arms outstretched
I am running
running Lord, to see Your face
For its only in Your arms
that I can sing Your praise

Love this and if you want to know, i'm going on a reviewing spree!

I like the tone of the poem, the words used, the calling of someone near, and finally this portion:

"I need your grace
to reach my heart
to hold me tight
fill every part"

Good Work!

Thank you.

This was a very very good write. I love to read and write about God and worship. However there was a part somewhat confusing to me though.

Lord I'm falling
falling out of reach
of anyone but You

The use of the word- - - - -anyone- - - - -should be- - - - -everyone. Over all it is a very great write.

I wish I knew how to write music. This words seem so well suited to a song of praise, one I would love to sing. Your faith sings out beautifully in your lines. Nicely done.

So deep and personal, a cry not unlike the Psalms. Such a beautiful expression of your heart of worship...
