A Cry for Help

You’re like a magnet that pulls me to you.
Don’t let me go.
I promise I will be worth your while.
I’ve fallen so far into sin that only you can save me now.
My mind is tainted with wicked thoughts,
And my dreams are filled with filthy desires.
I lust after things I should not want,
As I turn away from all that keeps me alive.
You’re the only one who knows everything that I am.
You know who I want to be,
Where I want to go,
As well as who I am right at this very moment.
One phrase is spoken,
While another floats through my mind -
Contradiction in it’s finest form.
No where in the world will I find the kind of love that you can give me.
My heart is empty for I have turned away from you too many times to see
That all you want is just to love me.
I want to thank you for all you’ve done
And all you continue to do.
You’re selfless sacrifice allows me to be who I am without fear of rejection
But I don’t seem to realize that I should have been thanking you all along.
The life I am living right now isn’t enough for me.
I need your help and your guidance.
No one can help me as much as you are able to.
Everything I see, smell, touch, taste and hear all come from you.
You created me as your servant and I denied you.
You love me unconditionally and still I’ve denied you.
I can see the people here on earth who claim to love me,
But I cannot see you.
It is hard to imagine that someone I cannot see loves me so much.
Faith is all I need to reassure myself that you exist,
But temptation leads me far from the kind of life I so desperately need to live.
Your prophecies have been fulfilled,
The proof is in my prayer, and in my heart.
Science makes little sense when it comes to where this all came from.
Everything does not come from nothing.
An apple does not magically appear in my hand simply because I am hungry.
Your love gets me through every day,
Yet I still have doubts about you.
Show me the way.
Take my heart in your hands and mold me into the one you want me to be.
Let me believe in all that you have said,
And in all that you will do.
Time will show me that I am growing old without you,
If I do not act now.
I need you Lord, for I am lost without you.
I can’t find my way in the dark without your light to guide me.
Take me to the place I need to be.
Lead me to others who need to know you.
Help me to show them the way to your unconditional love,
For without you there would be no world in which we live in.
