Repentance Written by Jessica F.(tenderhearted)

[tenderhearted]

Weary and torn, my body and soul. A lifetime ago, my heart spoke with zeal, But the pain and sorrow had taken its toll. Trapped in darkness because of my sin, Chained to my past, bound to my pride, I placed my hands on my head in shame, And trembled in fear as I fell down and cried. "Completely helpless, in spirit am I, Impinge on me your rod, my Lord. Thorns and thistles, they cover my heart, Sever the roots with your almighty sword." "Child, weep not, for your heart is pure, Listen! The angels in heaven rejoice. Humbled you are, strong you shall be, Tender in heart with wisdom of choice."

Faded and worn my passion became,

thanks.

This poem is truly about me. I have been saved for a year and a half now, but I have been out of fellowship. This poem is about my coming back into the sheepfold. The great thing about it all is that the LORD let me fall to teach me something that I really needed to understand. Sometimes you just have to learn the hard way.

It is great to have a place like this. I usually post on another forum, but the opposition is hard to deal with sometimes, and, I get to wanting to "prove" I am right so much that I put my pride in front of God, which, was the start of my downfall. The LORD has blessed me with a lesson well learned. AMEN

Good job on the poem. The board name (tenderhearted) suits as well.
