Tonight my soul ached from within <br />For my heart and life were overflowing with sin… <br /> <br />Sin of resentment, bitterness, feeling guilty, and lonely <br />Yet deep within my heart, still longs for Jesus only… <br /> <br />Satan would have me believe that new hope shall never arrive <br />And that there will be no joy within <br />As long as I am still alive…. <br /> <br />Blinded by tears and pain <br />Feeling the wounds left from trying to make it on my own <br />Falling for the untruth that things will never be better <br />Even though by sins, and failure in Him, I have spiritually grown… <br /> <br />Tonight I give you my sins Lord, my resentment, <br />My bitterness too, and I know <br />That you will take me back gladly <br />Lord, as straight into your arms I shall go… <br /> <br />Thank you for holding me up as I felt faint <br />Lord, teach me how to endure all sorts of things <br />Things that cause me to be disoriented, and exhaust me <br />Oh father: “I rejoice that I am back <br />Near you now” for beside you I feel so free! … <br /> <br />Thought for the day: <br />If we give up Satan will be the champion <br />Let us make him squirm in the pain and sorrow <br />And feelings of hopelessness that he has created! … <br />©Copyright 2004 Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tonight-i-came-back-to-him/
