    This is What I Believe

    Why do I believe in a dying world that I sadly call my home?

    How can I let all this destruction take place on this earth that I roam?

    I’m not a part of this world’s demise to erase a faith based nation

    Mistakes and failures fall upon my path but I’ll make a declaration

    To never give up on what I believe inside this lost world of sorrow

    Tears flood my hopeful eyes that await the dawning of tomorrow

    I may have been born into a world of lies but I know what is real

    I raise my hands in adoration to the sweet love that I can feel

    Though I’m judged by people around me I know I have a choice

    I won’t back down to attacks on my faith cause I hear God’s voice

    I must stand tall with open hands ready to receive this gift of love

    That can only come from God himself that he pours down from above

    I can no longer shelter the truth that’s contained deep inside my soul

    I will embrace the healing power that strengthens and makes me whole

    You’ve painted a picture of grace that I capture inside my babies eyes

    I’ve learned to trust your humbling words and understand the eternal prize

    For I’m supplied with all I need to endure this long and painful fight

    You gave me a second chance when I fell away from your piercing light

    I’m a broken vessel that’s bleeding in agony from past mistakes I made

    I want to start my life again and erase the pain because I long to trade

    My old life that was filled with sin and guilt that rots away the beauty

    Lord reform me into a new creation and let me fulfill a spiritual duty

    Because emptiness is all I know when I leave your love that embraces

    Break my will so I will follow and take my testimony to different places

    I’ll watch you here from the ground as my new faith starts to grow

    I know that you will keep me strong and won’t ever let me go

    I could have given up on everything during all my times of strife

    But my faith in You pulled me together so I could carry out my life

    As my serene eyes found the light of Christ one day in my youth

    Now I dance with the joy of salvation that has me dying for the truth

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
