I've fallen from faith's light. <br />I slipped out of God's sight. <br />Me, once a gospel defender. <br />I can't but now be a pretender. <br /> <br />I'm subject to it all. <br />Like you, I too can fall. <br />Desire often takes hold of me. <br />Chained to it, I can't break free. <br /> <br />Free of the wants <br />The flesh that taunts <br />Me: to look, to taste! to touch! <br />My seat has gone to waste. <br /> <br />I bring tears to the eyes <br />of him who first loved me. <br />And away from him, my fears <br />Manifest, even as I give-in to lust. <br /> <br />This flesh of mine, it is strong <br />and with my weak will: I do wrong. <br />So in time, not too long, <br />My word may no longer be bond <br /> <br />My name in the book <br />Might be erased <br />And I may die, <br />When I leave this place... <br />-- <br />But I would not die <br />Because of God's Grace <br />I know that I will see his face. <br />In Jesus' name, amen. <br /> <br />Copyright © 2009 Leslie Alexis<br /><br />Leslie Alexis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/his-grace-is-sufficient-for-me-2/
