Don't Want to Let You Go
Fear that I had gone and wondered to far from Your mercy. Fear that I had done so much wrong that You would never take me back. Fear that I would never feel Your love surround me again.
But Lord, I was wrong. Now I know that I can never go to far from You. Even when I made countless mistakes, You were there. Regardless of my thoughtless love affair with Sin, You were there. Though I danced with Deceit and made my bed with Lust, Lord, You were always there.
And now that I have found You once again I don't ever want to let You go. For the rest of my life I want to spend my days in Your embrace. Even as the seasons and years pass by, with You I want to stay.
My soul longs for Your touch and my heart beats frantically for want of Your love. Anoint my head Lord and renew in me a righteous spirit. I can't go another day without Your presence and now that You are here I don't want to let You go.
Desperately Lord I grasp Your hand and thirst for Your grace. My spirit hungers for Your peace and I refuse to let go until You have blessed my soul. Never again will I wonder from Your presence.
I thank You for loving me even when I couldn't love my self. For giving me the strength to continue when I thought I couldn't take another step. For being there when everyone else had left me to die in my suffering.
And it is because of Your mercy that I now have joy. Forever and always, Lord, will I remain by Your side. And because of Your unconditional love....I don't ever want to let You go.

Post a CommentVery inspirational poem !
Great job and so uplifting. Sorry I haven't had time to read all your writings yet, but I'm getting there. I'm just busier than I want to be or need to be. Keep writing! You're doing really well.
This is a beautiful picture. I am grateful to God to have read it.
This is an excellent inspiration piece. Well- written and from the heart. Great Job!
What a great piece, Alexis! I love the line 'Though I danced with Deceit and made my bed with Lust, Lord, you were there'...his compassions never fail! He is gracious to us.
This was beautiful and very well written. Many times, I have spoken a similar prayer.
Beautiful, honest, and inspired! Once you've felt the touch of the Master's hand you never want to let go!
This is not only beautiful but it's exactly as if you could read my mind (and my heart) while you were writing!
