Nothing Without You

Just a random poem I wrote my first semester at the Bible College. I found it again and thought I would share with you all...... 

so here it is...... 

~Nothing Without You~

Oh Lord... where do I start?

What am I supposed to do?

Here I am again... falling apart. 

No matter how hard I try- I fail

In every way- I fail

My mind is so scattered- I can’t even think,

No matter how hard I try I just sink... 

I’m so sorry... I don’t listen to you, then get into a mess

And turn right back- crying and stressed. 

But I never hear you say, “I told you so.”

But instead, “Come to Me, child. I love you so.”

Lord, Put my mind at ease, 

I’m down on my knees

I’m just so frustrated- is this what I get for being kind? 

Taken advantage of... and left behind? 

But why do I care? Why does it hurt? 

It’s not like I didn’t know... not like I couldn’t see, 

I have no one to blame but me. 

I try so hard to stay focused, I try so hard to stay true....

Lord, all I want, is to know you. 

Oh I know, apart from you I am nothing....

So I won’t even try. 

I surrender my life, my heart, my everything. 

I won’t get by, 

Without you by my side. 

So here I am Lord, take all of me,

For without You, I will never be. 

Oh God, Thank-you for your mercy, 

Thank-you for your grace.

Lord, show me your glory, 

Surround me in this place! 

Consume my mind, 

Help me leave it all behind. 

And push towards the goal, 

With all my heart mind and soul.
