untitled poem

so...this is an untitled poem i wrote a while back...so lemme know what you think of it :)

................................................................................

Eternal life is what we seek

Meeting as one every week

Praising, and giving it all to You

Because this is what You are due

We fall to our knees to be humble

And we promise never to stumble

The words we say may be strong

But they do not last in our hearts long

We leave this place

Into a world of disgrace

Corrupting our mind

Full of thoughts unkind

After a week we are back

Seeking what we lack

We beg for forgiveness from sin

And ask that we never let it win

And once again we return

To the world that will lead us to burn

We know what is right and wrong

And in the world we do not belong

So why do we slip?

Is what we say not catching the Father's grip?

You want a clean slate

Before it's too late

But what does your praise matter

If it's no more than meaningless chatter

Is it what's in your heart that you pray?

Or is it simply what's in your mind to say?

So go ahead, give Him your "all"

Because in the end it'll be his call

He knows you inside and out

He knows your every belief and doubt

Stand strong in faith

And He will keep you safe

From the world He created

The world I have defeated
