This is My Prayerwall

giving up..

O my soul cringe at the news,
When I know that hope was gone.
Not mine to claim,
But eternity seems to be passing by and I know...
It will be hard to believe,
Yet true to its call, the devil has once again,
Got his foothold that was long forgotten.

I ask God for mercy on my soul today,
I know why I needed that mercy in the end.
I guess forgiveness never once came,
Never before I thought I would struggle;
In forgiving one I cant bear to love.

God so loved the world, that He gave,
That I may once and thrice disappoint Him.
Only so that I may be forgiven,
Of the disappointments and tears He shed for me.

Hard to believe where grace abounds,
Shall my arms be open and my heart in love,
For the glory is never mine to claim but His to gain.
I desire nothing Lord, nothing but your will in mine.

Father forgive me that I may stand,
never righteous but a sinner.
Help me forgive,
Help me overcome.

In passing glance I saw, the surrounding greenery I so long awaits,
I ask the Lord, if my will is done.
He answers me not, for the answer I knew by heart.
The harvest is plenty, but the workers, so few.

I pray for a return,
May the swallow once set free finds its nest.
Its resting ground where the Lord dwells,
Never in the world, never on the ground,
But upon the tree of life I shall await.
I shall hope in prayer, for its only best that I shall hope,
Not in her flight but,
God's abounding grace which guide.
