Sinners prayer

Sinners prayer

A Poem by wordman
"

"

Peace in my heart

gentleness in my soul

these are things

that I do not know


My heart is growing cold

my body is growing old

I`ve only done what I was

taught to do,i never took

the time to talk to you


but now I`m older and wiser

I can see that time moves so fast

lord you know there's nothing

I can do about the past


But lord,if you will look down

at this old fool once again

and if you will forgive me

of my sin


I will try lord

I will try once again

you know lord I have always`s

wanted to call you my friend

but I never invited you in,

I never accepted you as a friend


I have been down every dead end street

made every mistake a sinner could make

but I hope lord it`s not to late

so lord I have come home to stay

I pray you wont turn me away...

This is beautiful. Do sinners always pray? No, not everyone. Those who are godless don't. But those who do, have some hope of redemption.

I love this very much . . . I'm into conversing with God as I would with any regular person, being honest & gut-level with the spirit we believe in, becuz He already knows our thoughts, so who are we kidding if we pretty up our conversations into prayers filled with "Christian-ese" sounding stuff? This is so straightforward, my favorite kind of writing. Self-honesty leads to the most striking ideas for writing, as in this message.
