I Once Was Lost

Whenever something was brought up about a talent or gift, I always thought I didn't have one of those and that I wasn't good at anything. But then I realized I did...God practically smacked it in my face saying "Sarah! I have given you the gift to write!" It's quite frustrating to look at everyone else with great talents such as having musical abilities or athleticism. But then I started to think about how unique and creative a mind would have had to be made to be able to intensely interpret a subject. He gave me this gift not to keep to myself, but to share Him and what his undying love has done for me. I wrote this poem for a talent show we were having for my youth group at Scotts Hill Baptist Church. Its how my heart feels in words. God gave me this wonderful gift to share, so that's what I'm going to do. He is the reason I can write.



I Once Was Lost
You found me in the darkest of places
Where my fingertips reached out to try and touch the light
But somehow someway
I was always pulled back
But in my darkest hour
You rescued me
And there in the crystal air
You held me and embraced me
As if I was Your most prized possession
You brought the color back to my eyes that for so long were gray
And You made me feel like the brightest shining star
That could shine so bright for You
You told me how I had broken Your heart
And that for so long You had tried to captivate mine
But that You forgave me
And You loved me
Even though I had abandoned my love for You
I started to question if I even deserved such a merciful God
But you laughed at this thought
And just held me closer

Written a While Ago

She moves forward
Merely leaving them lost and gasping for air
Too strong to be pulled down farther
Too weak to stay
She questioned if they'd even care

But was it she who needed them to stay alive?
Or was it them who needed her security
Aiding their confidence back to health was a simple mistake
All in all, forever seems to be but a fictional word on which
The world
Will always strive

Lead Me

And

No one ever said it would be easy

There will always be troubles

But for You

It's worth every scrape

And every fall

Every tear

And every heartbreak

Lead me to You

I'll continue to climb and climb

Until I reach You

Until I'm being held in Your arms

Until I'm crying for once, not because I'm sad and broken

But because I'm home

I'll finally be where I belong

With my daddy

My one true love

HIM

So you have always been there
But I never really acknowledged all the things you've done for me
You created all my favorite things
The sky
The sun
The sea
I hope to grow stronger in your word and be a great example
You are wondrous to most
And to me you are beautiful
So every time I look up to you
I wonder how you see my heart
And every time I feel alone I seek comfort in your book
So make my life only to praise your name
And for you to be what I broadcast
For you are truly all I need
Your love will forever last
