poem

i have just found amongst all my stuff that i was packing a poem that i wrote about 3years ago, i dont think it is all that good... but every time i go to write it in my book with my other poem's in i loose it... so i have decided that before i loose it again i will type it up on here and share it with whoever reads it.

I lift my life to you

In a place so near,
as near as you can get,
a friend forever so dear,
his love for me i can never forget.

Through water and through flames
he walks right by my side,
and cleans my heart so stained.
To stay is his promise, he never lied.

So deep he knows my pain,
forgiving and healing is his game.
I lift my heart to you now,
right down on my knees i will bow.

I ask for you to take over, to end this strife.
To live within me forever,
to take charge of my life.
To walk hand in hand forever.

You are in total control,
guide me to where you want me.
make my life a gentle stroll.
No one has ever or ever will be as great in my life as thee!

there is one line that i would really want to change and take out of that, and that would be
'make my life a gentle stroll'
paul teaches us to rejoice in our sufferings (james 1) That it will make us stronger and ready. lacking in nothing. sometimes i do a very bad job of rejoiceing, but that i know is what i need to do.

" Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." james 1: 2-4

so this is my reason that i would change that line.
