[hometext] => I am a sinful man whom Christ chose to love. I am forever thankful and humbled by His grace.
[bodytext] => ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My Confession I am a Laodicean And I hate it in this place Here my heart hides from its sin And wallows in disgrace I was once a trusted soldier Who always stood his ground Who knew His beloved savior With a joy so profound We stood watch together With the heavenly host above And fought against the enemy With His powerful words of love But somewhere in the battle I let sin get in our way Over and over again it happened Until shame so overwhelmed I had to walk away Thru the years He never left me He has extended me His hand And many times I've grasped it Only to return to sifting sand Until I found myself living In a land where sin is bold Where fear and shame are tucked away And conscious is kept cold But once again He calls me Pleading for me to depart This horrid lukewarm place I've built around my heart "Oh Lord I remember" " The glory of your touch" " The wonderful times together" " The fellowship we enjoyed so much" "It's not the enemy I fear" " Nor the weapons he may use" "I think nothing of peoples scorn" " How they might taunt or abuse" " I fear my own weaknesses" " My own desires that sweep me away" " Of all men I m most guilty" " To you what could I say ?" "I am nothing but a traitor" " An unworthy abuser of your grace" " A loathsome man of compromise" " Too ashamed to view your face" But then I hear a whisper Within the walls of my heart " Russ, I am always here" " Never will I depart " " The walls are now crumbling" " Overcome by humility and grace" " And I, your Savior and friend" " Welcome you back to your place" Russ [comments] => 4 [counter] => 174 [topic] => 11 [informant] => Lone_er [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ChristianPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
