redeemed

i came across this poem i wrote several years ago and thought i'd share it with y'all. enjoy! :)

i raised my arms up to the sky

and slowly as the clouds rolled by

the tears streaked down and raindrops ran

and blended with the blood on my hand

the puddles formed beneath my feet

then all the angels began to weep

my eyes were on heaven, His eyes were on me

i lost myself and fell on my knees

then down on my face and calling on Him

i begged that He take back all of my sin

"let me go back, turn back the clock,"

i begged and i pleaded, "please God make it stop!

the pain of it all, is this how it feels

for the ones whom you love to deny your appeals?

i'm sorry i sinned and killed you again

god please, oh please, take away all my sin

i need to start over, please give me that

i need a clean slate since i cannot go back."

the sunshine is covered by all of the clouds

and i'm still praying and crying out loud

my blood is covered by the blood that He gave

and i thanked God that even my soul could be saved

as the blood on the ground washed away with the rain

the clouds soon faded along with my pain

i rose to my feet and raised my arms to the sky

as the sunshine beamed down and the scarlet turned white

my eyes were soon dried and the puddles receded

all of my heartache and wounds had been treated

for He is the one who forgives everything

and taking it back was not as hard as it seemed
