As The Leaves FaLL

As the leaves fall, so does shame fall all around me
Sins of my past, like rising water, hoping it doesn’t drown me

Waves up to my neck when suddenly I hear a sound
The water starts to drain, once lost now I am found

Grace rescues me when it seems there is NO hope
Turning my weakness to strength allowing me to cope

So, I feel pain, I shed tears, but I continue to FIGHT
Though the darkness surrounds me, fear grips me, I am guided by the Light

The KinG has looked upon this pauper and placed a crown on his head
Purpose courses through my veins~ I remember when I wanted to be dead

So, pardon me if I find perspective the silver lining in the cloud
Or find Peace, in the chaos, though my heart’s so very loud

I listen to the Voice that says I’m enough when I feel I’m a MESS
The One Who calls me MORE when I feel lesser than less

In the bottom of the pit, looking up, hoping to see a hand
It was there, in the midst of my hurt, I learned not to depend on man

Just when I was about to give up, You plucked me from that hole
You recused me, restored my life, it was there You saved my soul! + He > i
