I Need Your Grace Poem by Vincent Igwilo

Resolutions, I pen down
To keep, a solution I need
The wrong I know
The rights are familiar with me
But to dwell in right, your grace I need

Like a shooting star
Falling downward just as it rose
And its trail leaves a story to be told
To stand amidst foes and live to tell the tale
Your grace I need

This grace, wisdom cannot attain
Integrity cannot hide
Self will cannot impose
But myself, humble be
Your grace I need

I fight to live right
I reprimand myself always
I self criticize when I lose track
But then I remember
I need your grace

I have fallen
And swore never to fall again
But I keep falling
And kept cursing
I need your grace

I just see
I need to commune daily with thee
My thoughts of independence
And freedom from sin
Is short lived without your grace

With you
My ride is so smooth
No bumpy road or obstacles
It's just all easy
With your grace

I tried, I fought
I read and memorized your words
But, I just betray you
Before the cockcrows
Then I think of a way, your grace

Fill me, drench me with your grace
I will bound it on my bosom
'Cause evil have no rules
Or set time
A friend in need, your grace

I now see your light
From the crucifix affront
I walk stealthily towards it
Without turning back and it dawned on me
Your grace was my strenght.
