Here I Am

Here I am Lord,
broken and displaced
everyone I love
I seem to have pushed away...

Here I sit Lord,
so saddened and alone
without a hand to hold
just my shattered dreams...

running down my face,
and no one to blame but me.

Here I am Lord,
so full of anger and shame
and my will to carry on
is detiorating, with each passing day.

Here I sit Lord,
just wanting to be loved
missing my father
and my son...

while my girl picks up the pieces
I'll cut myself with the broken ones.

Here I am Lord
bleeding on the floor
submerged in my failures
knocking on heavens door.

Here I sit Lord
broken and displaced
saddened and alone
angry and ashamed...

just wanting to be loved
bleeding on the floor.

i feel your pain

I have one thing to say that stop crusifying yourself because of your past. We all make mistakes and none of us are perfect. When you cried out to the Lord the first time He knew what you wanted to say even before you said it. Get up from the shame that is keeping you from going forward and rise up from your guilt for what you have been asking for has been given unto you.
