PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Temptation pulls at me from every side

I want to resist, yet I cannot

For the chains that I created are holding me back

Keeping me locked in this desolate place.



I long to be with You, Jesus

I want to be where You are

But because of my stubborn heart

I’m lost and disillusioned on this lonely road.



How can I say that I love You

When I never let it show?

My life should reflect Your light

Instead I hide it deep within.



I’m lying here, cold and alone

Helpless against the crashing waves

Unable to free myself from this sin

That has me trapped and unable to move.



I long to be with You, Jesus

I want to be where You are

But my strength is failing

I cannot fight this fight alone.



I know You are there

I long to reach out, to kneel at Your feet

To be with You is my heart’s lone desire

To show You that I do love You.



Help me, Lord Jesus

Lift me up, give me strength

Break these chains that bind my heart

Rendering me helpless and broken.



You are all I need, O Lord

You’re everything to me

I long to praise Your name

To shout from the highest mountaintop



That Your love is here

You gave Your life unselfishly

To save my soul, to set me free

That I would be helpless no longer.
