"STRIKES OF LIFE"

I've often been told that you can look at someone and tell if their truly happy.
But that's wrong because you have to
look deeper than the surface,
and search their soul!
Only God you can not fool
because he knows our every move.
We may have our worldy pleasures-
our silver and our gold
we may pile up all the riches
that this world can hold
but we still not happy
because Jesus we have sold.
We have gave up all that he stands for
to have temporary happiness
to make our lives seem full.
But God searches and seeks us
Inside / Out
And yet we still put him second best /
even LAST!
I smile to make you think that
nothing is wrong with me.
But actually ,I'm drowning
in a sea of my own iniquites.
On the inside I scream and cry
out for someone to
hear, love, adore me,
But instead they all ignore me.
I try to turn it over to God,
But Satan makes it linger,
he just won't let me be!
I feel so locked and chained
and only he has the keys.
Lord, your all I need to help find myself
to keep you number one
even when I come undone
For the past, I can not change,
but my life I can rearrange.
Our lives are so complexed,
so confused,
so mixed and jumbled,
never making sense!
Without you GOD,
we are NOTHING.
And nothing we shall be
until we see that
YOU
are all in life
that we need!
You're all around,
the sway of the wind,
the sound of the music,
the voice from within.
So, I am down a path that has come to a dead end.
I stand here empty handed with my heart bent.
I ask myself what is my life all about?
I've lived through
STRIKE ONE,
STRIKE TWO,
STRIKE THREE!!!
Does this mean I'm out?
I look around for someone to blame.
The fingers point straight back to me!
Where did I go wrong?
Maybe I was in a place I didn't belong.
My parents were right when they said," I am too headstrong".
The choices I have made are coming back to haunt me.
They surround me leaving my days long and dreary.
GOD is the ONLY one that can judge me!!
I tangled myself in my own web of desire.
Is this what happens when you play with fire?
I am now feeling the aftermath of my mistakes.
A life full of sin only forsakes.
Now I wonder I am too far gone?
To this world I would become just another pawn.
Why can't I seem to find that inner peace?
A taming love within that comes from above that gives a never-ending supply of increase
