"God's Mercy"
I got on my knees and began to speak away,
Everything that was on my mind,
Seemed to be revealed as I prayed,
It was then I felt a touch of love so kind.
I knelt for what seemed like forever,
I began to weep,
Not knowing what I'd soon endeavor,
I just wished I could go to sleep.
I thought...."Why is it always me?"
I always seem to be in a rush,
Why can't I just be free?
Sometimes I feel like saying hush.
I wish there wasn't so much,
I always seem to be going,
But then I feel that touch,
And I know there's no slowing.
I want to argue and say,
Please stop it now and go,
I want to have my way,
But then I hear Mercy say, no.
I have done my part,
I've been nice and good,
Then something touches my heart,
And I realize, I misunderstood.
It's not what all you do,
It's how much you care,
Always put others before you,
And God's gift of love is shared.
For I have given you the greatest gift,
The gift of perfect life,
Surely you can give someone a life,
And help them with their strife.
I know it is hard at times,
You feel I'm against you,
You think I've committed a crime,
But this isn't true.
For I love you so much,
That's why I ask you to help me,
That's why my Mercy gives you that touch,
Remember you're the only God some people will see,
Please don't take it wrong,
I'm here to help you glide,
Just stay strong,
I'm always by your side.
