Falling down
The world spinning round
I close my eyes
And wait for the sound
The crashing sound
Too familiar and near
Of what is expected
And that which I fear
The wind nips my feet
And the cold touches my skin
I hear of my mistakes,
My difficulties, faults, of my sins
The guilt creeps in
Memories of a past I long to forget
Of moments in time
Of people I wish I had never met
I cannot move on
The weight is just too much
I start to slink down
But then I feel a gentle touch
A touch to my soul
That warms me around
I feel it wrap all over me
Until I am bound
Bound by His love
The only truth I have ever known
The only thing that has kept me afloat
I am no longer all alone
My mistakes have now vanished
My past is now clean
Alone I am no more
And the guilt is just a dream.
He gave me a new life
I am no longer left to drown
Thanks to His gift
I am no longer cast down.
