Joshua's Courage: Journal 4

11-1-07

"Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens."
-Tolkien-


As I sat alone last night
I wondered in distress
About failing my Savior
My life felt a Mess

Sleeping was hopeless
But exhaustion was clear
So I called on the Lord
Out of hope and fear

I confessed all my sin
I prayed God would take
My life and my heart
And a warrior he'd make

Faithless no longer
Nor dark or alone
Alive and forgiven
My sins are atoned

May I fight the good fight
And die well for my King
Draw swords with my brothers
To God's truth I'll cling

-Tharp-

Hey... I didn't know you liked poetry...
That was deep
^_^
I liked it!
Much better than those rhymy-prayers I said when I was six...
"and if I die in my sleep, I pray my soul the Lord would keep."
Uh-huh.
And then there's the superman prayer.
That goes to the theme song.
"Thank you God, for giving us food!
Thank you God, for giving us friends!"
And on... And on...
And there's teh chorus I don't remember.
Hehe...
Yeah. That's a cool poem.
I can totally relate.
^^
Ciao!
