"Rescue Me"


Forgive me Lord, though I've done nothing but sin. 

If I die tonight, the Heavenly gates won't let me in. 

Help me Lord, Help me to change, for my life right now is like a storm drenching me in the cold heavy rain.

I know I'm not living right, and I don't want to spend eternity in Hell. 

So, I pray the prayer of repentance each day hoping everything will go well. 

Please, Lord don't let me die and wake up in Hell. 

I can't spend an eternity where there's weeping and gnashing of teeth, 

and where evil creatures dwell. 

Rescue me Lord! for my heart is racing and my pulse is weak. 

Give me guidance sweet Jesus, lead me away from the streets.  

Fix me Lord, cause my years of addiction has me broken,   

I know your talking to me, though no actual words are being spoken.  

Mend my broken spirit, help me get my life back in line.  

Please hurry, come soon Lord, before I'm out of time.

I enjoy writing poems, lyrical poetry, and slam/spoken word poetry. I have very unique style of what I do. Some poems are based on stuff from the heart, others are for making people think and maybe even inspire people to change their lives. I also write to entertain people as well. I love reading novels and doing jigsaw puzzles, I also am an awesome cook, and can cook and clean like nobody's business!
