The Answer

What do I do now?

Lead me, guide me, tell me.

How could I let you down again?

I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.

Again I have failed you,

Forgive me, oh please forgive me.

But why are you still here?

Why are you at my side?

I have failed you! Don’t you understand?

Why are you still here?

I tried, I tried my hardest,

but I did not succeed!

I didn’t listen to you.

I didn’t want you when

you reached out your hand to me!

I didn’t take it.

I thought I could do it on my own,

but I can’t.

I need you now

and I always have.

I want your love,

but I don’t deserve it!

You can’t love me!

But you say you do.

You say you have

unconditional love for me.

But how can you love me?

I have cursed you!

I have drawn away!

Why are you at my side?

Go! I don’t deserve you!

I don’t deserve your love!

And yet you are holding my hand,

telling me you love me.

I’m no use to you now,

I’m worthless, useless, a failure.

How can you love that?

I believe, yes I believe in You now!

I need You.

I want You.

Will You promise to hold my hand

forever?

Please don’t ever let go!

Because without You, I’m nothing.

Stay with me forever!

I love You!

Guide me to where You want me to go!

Lead me down Your path.

For without You I’m dead!

But with You, I am alive!

And now I feel so calm,

so content, so relaxed,

and You are still holding my hand.

You hold the key to my life,

You always have.

And I will be with You for eternity!

Forever!!

And wherever You shall lead me,

I shall gladly follow,

For You are my Savior, my Mentor,

my Creator, my best friend.

I love You.

 

For I can do all things through

Christ who strengthens me!
