Desperate, My Love Poem by Adrienne Clark Strachn

I'VE BEEN CRYING MOST OF THE DAY
CRYING OUT TO YOU
THE PAIN AND AGONY I'M GOING THRU

I DIDN' TAKE THE TIME TO PRAY
PRAY ABOUT MY LIFE SITUATIONS
JUST GOT CAUGHT UP IN MY WORLD
WHERE THERE IS NO BEGINING OR ENDING
ATLEAST TO WHERE I CAN SEE IT.

HERE I AM, PACING THE FLOOR
EYES FULL OF TEARS
CRYING AND WEEPING
CALLING OUT TO EVERYONE
HELP ME,
BUT THEY DON'T CARE,
CARES CONCERNS OF THEIR OWN
SELFISH OF ME,
SHOULDN'T I BE CALLING YOU, MY LORD

FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS PRESSING ME DOWN
I'M GOING DOWN TO MY KNEES
MY HEAD BOWED DOWN
MY HANDS CLASPED TOGETHER
HERE I AM HUMBLING MYSELF TO YOU,
I HAVE TO COME CORRECT

WHEN I TRIED TO DO THINGS MY WAY
I FAILED
WHEN I TRIED TO ACT PRIDEFUL
I FAILED.
WHEN I DID NOT DO IT YOUR WAY
I DIDN'T FEEL YOUR OPEN ARMS

I'M DESPERATE, OH LORD
HAVE MERCY ON ME
FORGIVE ME
YOU SAID YOU HAVE EVERLASTING LOVE
YOU SAID IF WE ASK YOU TO FORGIVE US
YOU WOULD NEVER FORSAKE US
I NEED YOU NOW, LORD HEAR ME NOW...
