its was like staring at an angry photo
the mirror did not lie.
when did my face turn so distorted?
my smile, half it's normal size.
these past couple weeks i've traveled
so far away from Christ
i saw a glimpse of what i'd be
without God apart of my life.
i let beggers ruin my day
and kept all compassion to myself.
church became of little interest
and my bible stayed, up on my shelf.
i'll be honest and say right out
i did not like who I'd become
and I would not expect even my best friend
able to distinguish this one.
finally, i'd had enough.
i forced myself up sunday sunrise
the distance I felt was a little much.
but His grace was standing before my eyes.
the music started slowly
but the lyrics nearly hit me.
a charade i'd missed so much.
a familar weakness at my knees.
my eyes filled up with tears
and my hands shot toward the sky
my craving soul now soothed with love...
needless to say...
i was a mess in church today.
i felt like a small child returning home
after running away from her fears
and seeing her loving father's open arms
ready to catch her lifeless tears.
i'm not who I am because I made it that way
rather, it's God who enables me to be.
He feeds my hungry soul day to day.
because without Him, i'm simply
...a nobody.
