His Grace Is Sufficient For Me Poem by Leslie Alexis
His Grace Is Sufficient For Me
I've fallen from faith's light.
I slipped out of God's sight.
Me, once a gospel defender.
I can't but now be a pretender.
I'm subject to it all.
Like you, I too can fall.
Desire often takes hold of me.
Chained to it, I can't break free.
Free of the wants
The flesh that taunts
Me: to look, to taste! to touch!
My seat has gone to waste.
I bring tears to the eyes
of him who first loved me.
And away from him, my fears
Manifest, even as I give-in to lust.
This flesh of mine, it is strong
and with my weak will: I do wrong.
So in time, not too long,
My word may no longer be bond
My name in the book
Might be erased
And I may die,
When I leave this place...
--
But I would not die
Because of God's Grace
I know that I will see his face.
In Jesus' name, amen.

all i can say we are human....... we are bound to do mistakes..... wonderful poem.
So good, it is always a struggle with temptation, and even if we know it is wrong we do it anyway, we must correct ourself all the time. It is lifelong, we must just keep praying for knowledge......very good....10 Linda

'Fallen from faith's light I Slipped out of God's sight. Me, once a gospel defender I can't but now be a pretender.' I have this feeling... I'm currently struggling through this... I just had a hard time putting it into words... or even accepting it. You inspire me.

I think most of us are caught up in that struggle, Leslie. Your poem tells it so well. I gave it a 10.
