God Poem: My Sins, My Lessons

Here is another poem just thanking God for his gracious work in sparing me (if He has in His divine will!)

God Poem 56: MY SINS -- MY LESSONS

God I know that I have sinned,

But that sin stops right now,

For I've read the Bible; had the verse pinned,

That I shall not be wretched in my way of the town.

I am fearfully and wonderfully made,

In the image of you, my Lord.

Please let me repent to you,

For I know my sins, Lord.

I know that I have been given into temptation,

I know it has nearly gotten me into trouble,

That is why today Lord, I am giving to you

The work and the tireless diamonds in the rubble,

That I will finish the works up ahead with no adieu.

I will, from now on do the work 

That you have called forth,

With no transgressions anymore,

I understand that in order for me to reap blessings

In order to gather a grand harvest,

I will abstain from sin and sow new seeds of greatness,

And grace to give to you and your nest.

Dear Lord, I hope it is not too late,

I hope you have not given me over to a depraved mind,

I can prove it to you,

That I can change,

To be better than the average dew.

Dear Lord, I have thought about my past,

Dear Lord, I am sorry,

I am praying that your judgement 

Comes in my favor

I pray that my drop

Other people may divorce,

But God I stand by my woman for life,

And Lord, I will never remarry,

I am bound to her for life.

I will not sin and commit adultery,

I will be faithful for her; I'll be free,

Lord, now that I am free from all that,

I hope that I can last,

For I am your creation,

I thank you for being born,

For more than temporal recreation,

But to do something great.

Lord I will not fight ridiculous wars,

This country's going down one by one.

I once adored this country before the war,

But now it makes no sense.

I am obedient,

I am strong,

I am confident because I believe in you Lord.

Lord, I repent again

It is my hope that with long life, 

You satisfy me.

God, I know I have not, Because I ask not

God, I know I have not,

Because I ask not,

Before I have known that I was jealous,

I was in a sea of envy,

But God the one thing I ask right now,

Is to rinse me of depression ,

Let me enjoy now,

What is in my life now.

God, I get not,

Because I ask not,

I get not

Because I am ready not.

But Lord, I know there is something great

On the other side of the cot.

God, I get not,

Because I have finished not,

With what you have given me already

That I still have to hold steady.

Lord, I confess that I have complained,

Lord, I confess that I have remained dull,

But Lord, I know you won't entrust me with more,

Unless I get what you've placed before me done.

God I receive not,

Because you've entrusted me with too much.

I have so much to do; to be thankful for.

God, I know you have closed doors,

But I know that you have opened others,

It may not be mopping or sweeping floors,

Or entertaining millions of others,

But my heart stays right.

I will help others when it is brought to light.

God I have not increase,

Because I've sold it to someone else,

Time and time again comes the disease,

The gnawing that I feel every time I give my work to others.

That of all things is a sin that I'm feeding,

In order to quit feeding it, God

I need this sinful door closed.

Lord, I put a smile on my face,

Although I am growing arid inside,

The ache of hunger is brought upon me,

To the point that dimmed my faith's sight.

Quitting Jealousy

God, I will say this in prayer,

That the poet who wins the prize,

After serving you

And paying the price,

I am happy for them.

I shall not be envious.

I shall not jeer and be in anger.

God I will also say this,

That the musician who goes far places,

Gets a Grammy or two,

Lord I am happy that they chose this career,

I am happy to listen to them too,

Not jealous and seething with rage.

God, I know that not every endeavor,

Equals positive success,

Not every effort is greeted

By an honest audience.
