 My Life In Words

At The Foot Of The Cross


I was once a child of despair,
Walking thru life without a care.
I would often ask God, "Why Me?"
And in my heart I only wanted to be free.
I followed the most common route,
I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about.
I woke up with each new day,
It took all I had to hold troubles at bay.
I hungered for the bread of life,
But all I got was more strife.
I always knew about the lord,
But that was only good when I got bored.
I've seen loved ones die,
And still I've asked, "Why?"
I've been homeless and desperate far from home,
I've ignored the path the Lord wanted me to roam.
I've tried to find happiness in worldly places,
I've searched my heart and found wide empty spaces.
Then an angel came to me,
And opened my eyes that I could see.
I learned that life is like a huge classroom,
And our price for not learning will mean doom.
My heart was heavy when I would create a new rhyme,
My guardian Angels had been working overtime.
God has a perfect plan for me,
He has opened my heart so that I can now see.
That all this time when I thought I was alone,
If I'd only talked with him his glory would've shone.
I look back on my life and see why,
All these things were happening to me.
My Lord has gave me the virtue of understanding,
And I've learnt not to be so demanding.
So I continue to walk thru the valley of death,
But I will fear no evil, that's what the lord seth.
So I gather each worldly care,
And remember all what Jesus had to bare.
I stretch out my arms giving them a toss,
And leave them at the foot of the cross.
