Jesus he holds her, calms her fears, <br />Gently he wipes away her tears. <br /> <br />One by one the devil he sends, <br />Alcohol, drugs, and all the wrong friends. <br /> <br />His arms outstretched to keep her close, <br />As she opens a bottle for another dose. <br /> <br />Farther and farther she slips away, <br />He still reaches out for her to stay. <br /> <br />One lonely night in her depth of despair, <br />Looking toward Heaven with a fiery glare, <br /> <br />She screams, you left me alone and in fear! <br />Jesus replies, I was always right here. <br /> <br />His love has repaired her once broken heart, <br />Never again his love she’ll depart.<br /><br />Skittles XOXO<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/outstretched-arms/
