PCIM

I fight in the world
I fight and stand alone
In my struggle I am wounded
And as I fight I fall
God reaches out to me
The universe speaks His name
But I flee from Him
I will do it my own way

The world of the devil ensnares me
Trickery and deceit prevail
My soul is lost among the lost
I do not want to be here
In my agony I look behind me
I see all the wrong
I see all the evil
And I see God close by

Yet I still flee from Him
I run and I fall again
I can not face Him
I crawl until my strength is gone
I turn to the world to help me
I find no solace
The weight of my guilt crushes me
I lay broken at His feet

My heart faints as He nears
I look at Him and await my fate
His stern expression fades
And His eyes fill with compassion
Kneeling over me He offers His hand
“Come child, just let me help you”
The look in His eyes
I will not run again

Peace sweeps over me
My pain fades away
The shame and the fear pass from me
I proclaim Him as my Lord
My sins end with repentance
I still fight
But now I fight for Him
And I do not stand alone
