I Can't Stop Loving You

Oh how I love You so
You are the one who knows my innermost thoughts
Every secret of my heart
The one I turn to with my faults
The gentle hands needed when I fall
Guilt imprinted all over my face, imperfect but a willing heart

Sometimes I feel so lost, I feel so out of place
Demented thoughts floating in my head
Thinking that no one loves me
And fearing that I have no true friends
Inebriated with fears, drenched with tears
Pain wrenching my veins, disappointments pouring like rain
Sleepless nights, drained every last bit of my strength
Sometimes I ponder, if I will make it to the light of day

At times, I honestly didn't care; I did forget You were there
Protecting and watching me with those undetected eyes
You created my spirit for a reason; things will get better some day
I prayed for a change of heart,
Elimination of doubt, arrogance and self praise
Departing from covetousness and self righteousness
Imparting of knowledge and understanding
A prudent and a loving heart
You are the basal of everything
Make these changes a possibility

Finally, that moment came to life
I feel like a brand new spirit
No more missing You, You are right by side
No more running around, I respect Your decision
Life is so much more easier and my rewards are greater
You are the joy in my heart; the delight in my soul
You are the passion that keeps me strong
I can't stop loving You

"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed
Because His compassions fail not
They are new every morning
The Lord is my portion, says my soul
Therefore I hope in Him!" Lamentations 3:22-24.
