“He Says” Poem

I’m struggling, 

I can’t breathe

Why did you give me this life,

We cry 

How do I get past this fight?

I keep trying and trying and trying

Not seeing the glory of His Light

He says,

Give Me your life, your heart

Let Me in,

I stand knocking on your front door

To heal you to the core.

I can’t do it God, 

We cry

Blinded by the devil’s lies

He says,

Give Me your hand,

Let Me guide you in your blindness,

And give the eyes of the Holy Spirit 

To see what is right,

Not the lies

Why do I try and try but get nowhere in life?

We cry

Only to worship the idols of life,

Not His Son’s sacrifice of life

He says,

Let Me wipe you of your sins

Give you life as clean as My skin

Let you eat My bread,

And drink My wine,

Let you in the kingdom of Mine.

When you give Me your life,

When you worship all My Glory,

You will finally see 

That you don’t have to try and try

For something that is already in your life

​

He says,

Give Me all you troubles,

Your worries,

Your hardships,

Your frustration,

Your grief,

Your pain,

Give it all to me,

This is not your fight to fight

Settle into My outlasting peace

Find comfort in My Love and Glory

You are My child and I love you

​

He says all this

Now it’s up to you to listen,

To let Him in your life, 

And be free of the burden of life
