I Look At Both Sides Now Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

I have looked at my faith from both sides now;
from belief to dis belief and still some how,
Christ never lost faith in me.

When I felt all was lost, and I was without
hope. He helped me cope day by day.
When I was fearful and afraid.
I wished my life would fade away.

For many years, I wanted to die deep inside.
Many tear drops I did cry.
He wiped all the tears from mine eyes.

I did not believe Jesus Christ was dead.
Many doubts were freely flying throughout my head.
I did not even want to get out of bed.

I was as deeply drowning in my misery-
when his love lifted me from complete despair.
Both sides now. Some people fail to believe,
but have they been as lost as yours truly?

Some people graduate from the school of hard knocks.
What do they need God for they sneer?
They prefer to face their problems on their own.
Is anybody home? Does anybody care?

Problems are hard enough to face. I feel
sorry for scoffers, who have no faith.
I used to be a scoffer too because I felt
it was the right thing to do.

I look at both sides now and prefer to have
God on my side. I do not have to face life all alone on my own!

Even today I am much too careless and thoughtless
about the spoken words I say.

Criticizing freely people disagreeing
with my own private life' philosophy.
What would Jesus both say and do?

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth,
and the light of the world.
He would tell me to pray more
and criticize people less.
