In My Moment Of Need (Oh Father)
Folder:
To God Dear Father hear this prayer tonight
I’ve been lost in the darkness for too long
Searching for a deeper meaning
When all I was needing was You
But I couldn’t see it no matter how hard I tried
No I couldn’t see the Truth or Your Light
Forgive me
Please wipe my slate clean
Wash me
With the blood that You bleed
Oh Father please forgive me for not opening my eyes
Please forgive me for not giving You my life until now
I’ve been desperate, angry, and broken
And I haven’t spoken this to anyone but You
I know that You love me
And I know that You don’t need me
But I couldn’t make or want to live life without You
And until You came into my life I was failing myself and You
Forgive me
Please wipe my slate clean
Wash me
With the blood that You bleed
Oh Father please forgive me for not opening my eyes
Please forgive me for not giving You my life until now
Please Father give me the strength and a second chance
And I make this vow to You to give You everything I have
Wipe my slate clean
Make me the person I was born to be
Make me the person Your Son die to save
Forgive me
For I didn’t know what I was doing
For I did not have a clue
When I didn’t know who You were
Forgive me
Please wipe my slate clean
Wash me
Wash my blood with that which only You can bleed
Oh Father please wash me for not opening my eyes
Until my moment of need
Oh Father, forgive me
Oh Father, forgive me
In my moment of need
I've read a few of your poems in this folder, but I must say ... so far, this one is my favorite. I have only recently been baptized (this past Sunday) so I have years of my own "moments of need." Yet, only now have I been able to go to Him and except all that He can offer. Beautifully written!
Peace and Blessings
