With Open Arms

Topic: PoemsonBeauty

Wandering around,
Feeling lost,
I know that I'm nothing without You.
How did I ever smile before?

I can hear you at the door,
But often I hesitate to answer.
I know this is not the life I want,
But temptation looks so much more attractive.

Jesus, my Savior,
Bring me from this life I lead,
Part me from this world.
You are the light,
And I want to be embraced by your gentle warmth.

If we are to be in this world,
Strategically placed by your Grace,
What are we to do,
But live for You?

Often I stray away,
But You always welcome me with open arms.
This gentle embrace
as the touch of a lamb.

I want to know You,
I want to feel You,
I want to see you Lord.

I'm coming back to you,
My Lord,
My Savior,
as You stand there waiting for me.

I don't deserve you,
For I have chosen my own life,
When clearly it is You that has given it to me.
How selfish must I be before I realize that all you are is Love?
I take my life and live it as I please,
When I know that it is not Your will.

Please forgive me,
For I have been enveloped by worldly things,
Things that won't mean anything after my time is up.
I am not perfect,
As you were.
I can't live up to Your standards.
And yet You have mercy on me.
What greater love,
I do not know.

You are the Way,
The Truth,
The Life.
