Down on my knees

by Erica Jovie©   Jun 18, 2006


Dear Lord I need your help tonight
Cause I just can't seem to see what's right
I lost your promise you made to me
That you'd hold my hand eternally

See I am dealing with the tears
Dealing with the fears
Of admitting that my heart is sold
And that I'll never have his hand to hold

I'm praying to you God
down on my knee's
I don't know what to do Lord,
help my please

I need you to take this pain away
Take me into "Far, far, away"
Where all my dreams of "us" can come true
Where the storm is gone and the sky is blue

My hands are shaking, stomach aching
Don't you see Jesus my heart is breaking
Sick of tears in my eyes
Sick of hiding my cries

Sick of pretending I'm okay
Sick of trying to make this all go away
Father just take my heart out of his hands
And put it back together again

I reached for his hand, reached for his heart
But instead all I came back with was scars
He wants to throw away memories and forget the past
But those memories were what was going to make us last

I thought he was the one,
~thought I'd found love~
But now I'm hurt and confused,
~I need your help from above~

I am trying to move on, have faith in your plan and believe
But there is just something bout them eyes and the way he'd smile at me
The way he'd make me laugh and the glow he put in my heart
But now it seems like we couldn't be farther apart

So tonight Lord I'm prayin' as I wipe tears from my eyes
I'm waiting and watching cause I need a reply
I'm so sick of hurting time and time again
I'm gunna trust you with my life Dad
In Your precious name ~Amen~

    When I read one of your quotes, I saw that at the end it said "...and God bless." This is a dream come true for me, cause it is difficult to find spiritually stimulating stuff on this website. This is the first poem of yours that I read, and it was SUPERB. And God bless you for writing such beautiful work. I can't wait to read more of your poems.
