This is one that I wrote a few years ago. It is still one of my favorites though. Sorry if you have already seen it. I just wanted to re-post it on my new blog because it really seems to go along with how I have been feeling lately.
Finding Grace
Folded arms, bowing head,
Streaming tears upon my bed.
Pretense gone, lies forsook
Staring at that open book
Piercing words, parable,
Leads me to defer control.
Melting stone, changing heart
Filling in a missing part.
Speaking truth, hidden fears
Crying out till hope appears.
Searching soul, finding grace
Now safe within thy warm embrace.
Broken door, open wide
Lets him rush forth to my side.
Peaceful calm, He doth send
Oh Savior, my best friend.
Sometimes, change is hard and it can feel lonely. However, as I was driving home the other day, I just started talking to God. I told him how I felt that I wasn't doing enough. Then, the song "By Your Side" by Tenth Avenue North came on and I knew it was the Lord speaking back to me. "Why are you trying to earn grace?... Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough?... I'll be by your side whenever you fall."
