Unfailing Faith

It felt like it was yesterday
When I opened my heart to you and you let me into your life
At first I thought I was unworthy but your words grew on me
From then on I felt like I was put on top of the world
Seeing all that you taught, feeling all that you felt
Despising all those who doubted our bond
But you told me to forgive, so I did
I treasured every moment we spent
But it all went away so fast.

I don’t remember when or how it happened
But I know it wasn’t you, it was me who gave up
How I could turn away from your precious gift of love?
When it was what kept me alive during gloomy days
And made the best days glow much brighter
But now, I realize I only call upon you when I need you
When I’m lonely, hurt, or when I need a rock to lean on.

So, today I decided to stop
To stop calling on you when I only need you
To stop believing I’m happy when I don’t have you
And to stop pretending I don’t miss you when I really do

Tonight I will get on my knees and beg your forgiveness
Open my heart to you and hope you let me back into life
Believe in your love like I once believed in so strongly
And most importantly, not give up so easily when walking the path you’ve laid out for me.

Tonight, I pray the Lord’s Prayer.
