Paul Adolphus Poems

When you've grown too weak and feel like giving in
When you're too tired to make another stride
If you are seeking refuge from this world of sin
Jesus is waiting with arms open wide
...

Set your goals way up high
Shoot for the stars
Aim for the sky
Great things you can achieve
...

When the weather is too hot
I hear people complain
Yet they are still not content
when there is too much rain
...

Who am I to pass judgement on you?
Is it my place to condemn the things you do?
what right do I have to look at you with scorn?
am I justified to question why you were born?
...

How can I take back the tears I made you cry?
I'm sorry for every hurtful word, for every single lie
I know I did you wrong, that I won't deny
So here I am asking you for one more try
...

'I have seen what the world has to offer and have indulged in its many guilty pleasures. I have enjoyed myself immensely but the end thereof was as bitter as gall.'

Through self righteous eyes I thought my ways were right
Pursuing after vanities and all that gave my heart delight
...

I see people go about their day to day routine
Some with a smile on their faces
Others looking rather mean
Children hurrying off to school
...

Tell me, tell me, tell me
How can I forget you?
It's not that easy
After all that we've been through
...

Look down upon this sinful man O'Lord
Turn not your face away from me
Cover not your ears when I humbly plea
Show me mercy and blot out my transgressions
...

In my time of troubles I cry out to the heavens
My eyes are heavy with tears
My soul is afflicted with sorrows
I have strayed from the path of righteousness
...
