Crying in the Rain
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

    Crying in the rain

“My God I come in deep distress

Disturbed I kneel in pain

To You in prayer I now confess

Whilst crying in the rain

 

I cry these loud these sombre tears

In life I’m so alone

Faithful I served You many years

But now I’m on my own

 

Through sin, my shame is hard to bear

I know You’ve seen it all

But at the time I didn’t care

So now I’m bound to fall

 

I vowed to walk life’s righteous Way

But sinned these many times

So now because I chose to stray

I’ll answer for my crimes

 

I’ve no excuse my God to give

I’m guilty through and through

Yet still through faith I pray to live

Now swearing to be true

 

I know I’ve said it all before

It seems as though I’ve lied

I’m so afraid You’ve closed Your door

To leave me die outside

 

From grace, my God I dread to leave

From Christ, I’m sad to go

Afraid forever more to grieve

For still I love You so

 

Eternity; without Your Son

My life would be in vain

I hate the foolish sin I’ve done

Whilst crying in the rain.....

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
