Fallen

Where has my heart drifted,

Far once again.

Gazing at worldly things,

Where did it begin. (Contemplating Sin)


Maybe when I compromised,

By entertaining just one thought,

Or was it when I failed to read,

My own desires are what I sought.


I think it’s when temptation came,

I didn’t stop to pray.

Foolishly I leaned on my own strength

That’s when I went astray.


“Surely not I, I’ll never betray you,”

I cried out unknowingly,

But when time came to stand or fall,

I fell to corruption so easily.


I heard the whisper in my ear,

Nudging me to again choose sin.

That wicked voice I often hear,

Sad to say, this battle I didn’t win.


I let sin reign in my body,

I obeyed it in it’s lust.

Why didn’t I pursue righteousness?

I’m miserable now, I can’t go on, REPENTANCE IS A MUST!!!
