The Faith of a Sinner

Free will; a gift of beauty or a burden from hell

I've danced in the light but know the fire all too well

Time and time again the choices I have made

Created the bed that over and over again I have laid

Kneeled down and broken in my darkest hour

I hear the faint words calling on my strength and power

Scared, silent and alone I listen for his voice

Instead she says have faith, his love for you is not a choice

My Mother whispers fear not, God is always with you

He will not forsake you if your faith is strong and true

Full of love and patience even when you are not

Especially when you are tired and given it your best shot

Calmly, I now feel him standing so close to me that we stand as one

I close my eyes and feel his light on my soul as warm as the sun

His love and guidance burn ever so brightly

Never unwavering or fleeting, even in spite of me

Just like my Mother's love never fails when I'm lost

God's love will never leave me no matter the cost

I found it is only losing faith in myself that creates my demise

I now know even this sinner is perfect in God's eyes
