My Grace Filled Life

I came to you and you showed me happiness
As you drew me closer I saw your holiness,
But the fear in me took over
I was afraid of letting go and getting sober.
I feared your greatness because I was weak
So I drifted and stopped waiting for you to speak,
Little did I know that loneliness would settle about
Even the beauty of the flowers I started to doubt.
Then I realized that one cannot live without water
As I gasped for air the weather became hotter,
That’s when I came back begging for your grace
Thanking you every moment for rescuing me from that phase.
Now I am here and I am stronger than ever
Leaving you again is an absolute never,
For how can I allow for the darkness to reoccur
How much more of it can I endure.
Without you wounds and daggers were all around
A ray of sunshine was not to be found,
That place was like a dry land waiting for a tear of rain
But the clouds were completely drained.
I came back ashamed not knowing what to say
But still you asked me to stay,
Before you I was blinded and could not see
I was drowning in my own materialistic sea.
You opened my eyes to feel your love
With you around me nothing is tough,
Everything is gorgeous and full of beauty
Serving you is the most glorious duty.
That great happiness returned to me as soon as I arrived
Your holiness became essential for me to survive,
The world no longer revolved around me
But rather around the world which bows to thee.
