Help Me!

I’ve fallen in love with a lie

its story grips and rips at

the sincerity of my heart

so there’s pretense upon pretense

rather than

precept upon precept

how did I get here

I fell in love with an idea

that sent me rowing down

the sin river

I was entranced

Bewitched by this unicorn of a man

with the answers in his-

hand me a lifeline

I must regain control of my mind

yes one day at a time

but who can wait till tomorrow

I might be drowning in my sorrows

by then

This burden that I bare

is a pain that is shared by many of us

smothered by life’s defeats

falling prey to deciet

feeling too weak

to cry for help

I cried for help

you gave ear to me

in the days of my trouble

you comforted me

Though I’m pressed

and pressed

and pressed

Thanks be to God

I am not destroyed

There is power

redemption

love

hope

joy

happiness

in the name of Jesus

Just cry out

“Help Me!”
