I wrote this poem about a month ago when I was walking. As I was walking
was listening to music and thinking about who I was before I was with Christ. That person is a completely different being from who I am now. But still, that person’s shadow haunts me. He follows me and begs me to come back tohim, to feed him, to give him myself fully, and to indulge in who I once was. As Iwas walking, I wrote this poem while thinking of this verse. Mark 8:34 says,
“And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.” I hope this poem helps you. Follow him, forget your past, and give all of yourself to him.
God Bless.

Time has passed
But I can’t forget
The things that put you last
Oh Lord, I am in your debt
Mistake after mistake
Still, you love my sinful soul
Make me awake
Filling this unworthy hole
Deserving of death
Feeling alone and worn
Only you give me breathe
And fix what is torn
Show them you
Make them forget me
I am just blue
You are the key
These chains are tight
Consuming all of my being
You are the most bright
Lord you are freeing
Nothing can touch me
For I am your child
You set the decree
That I defiled
The standards
Your son set
I slandered
Played over like a cassette
Change this heart
Inside and out
Push me like a cart
Full of no doubt
I’ve played with fire
I’ve used all the vices
Now I’m in your choir
And I’m paying the prices
