I feel devoid
Dry,empty, torn
I feel persecuted
Struck down to my heels
Now crawling on the ground
Totally grieving
Christian by choice
Christ like I should be
That’s what I try
But it seems to me
That I am limited
The many times that I
Succumb to temptation
I fall but a righteous
Man falls 7 times and rises again
Not copying the example
Of Christ while he was on
Earth living like man
I succumb to temptation
Yet he was also tempted
Yet he was also tempted
But won through it
Listening to those
Who talk of spirituality
Yet Christ healed on the Sabbath
My grieving soul
Grieves when I succumb
To human temptation
Grieves when I walk
In the works of the flesh
Grieves when I sin
Knowing I have
Grieves when I forget
Or fail to pray
Grieves when I forget
To read or live by his word
But I pray
That I may be
Spirit led
Live by his word
Pray ceaselessly
Congregate with other
Christians for Bible Study
Listen to His word and put into practice
That my soul
May not be grieved
But I may stand in the accordance of his word.
