The Lost Soul

Posted on by Marla
Walking in darkness sin’s grip is hard and fast
Wrapped around my blackened heart, to many lies have passed…
Between then and now, I have no clue what I am headed for
Then someone, I know not who, came knocking at my door…
Sneers, and disgrace had left their trace of pain and suffering, it’s too late
Grief is deep, and crimes of the soul, done; all that’s left is hate…
Heart of stone, left alone…
Vile liquid fills my veins, full of drugs there’s no relief…
No saving grace, there’s no belief…
Doubt and fear masked by glares, a stench that fills the air…
All who enter must beware, nothing to lose, no one to care…
But wait…
One tiny spark of hope I see…
They call him, Savior, but can he save me?
What’s that you say, “This man can take, my pain away,
And give me a brand-new heart?”
Slurred speech, I recognize, a picture I once saw…
His eyes so kind, I wish I knew, this man they say, who
Takes away the sin of the world…
Could it be true?
Bending now beside my dirty broken body, I cry…
“Jesus, is that you?”
I’m unworthy to be in your presence…I’ve done things I can never repay…
Child of brokenness, I will take all your shame, all your guilt, this I will do,
If you’ll open your heart and ask me to…
Am I dreaming, hallucinating? Did I die and not know it?
Someone has prayed for you…I’m here to answer that prayer…someone, does care…
I’ve been calling you all your life; will you accept me and turn from strife?
I’ve come to give you an abundant life…
Screams of torment explode in my ears, demon fear, is drawing near,
Jesus, help me, take my heart; I believe, don’t let me part…from this world without knowing you…
Forgive me now…
In your holy name I vow…I will follow thee
Wash me clean and set me free…
Instantly…the darkness flees
I’m light as a feather my heart can breathe
Addictions shatter…
Heart of stone now flesh, demons shriek and scatter
Pain all gone, there’s joy, unspeakable joy, as I surrender to the Master…
Eternal life forever after!!!

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
