When I Feel So Lost, Alone-A Poem ⋆ Effie Darlene Barba

When I Feel So Lost, Alone

When I feel so lost, alone

I turn my gaze upon His throne

He who for my sins did die

To rise again and justify

A wretched heart whose selfish pride

Could never set my Self aside

Until I saw a glimpse His gaze

It was there my heart was set ablaze

To know a love so greater still

That I might bow beneath His will

And when I feel so sad, so down

I then must look upon His crown

A crown of thorns once cut His brow

Exchanged for Glory that somehow

To there bestow on me His Grace

So as I gaze upon His face

Transform this wretched heart of mine

Unto His righteous Heart Divine

As step by step I bow before

The one who doth my life restore

For when I stop to see this world

The sorrow, pain evil has hurled

Upon the foolish, blind and lost

I then can see the depth, the cost

The weight of sin He chose to bare

For selfish ones who do not care

With hate-filled looks, their brazen stare

Whose hardened hearts do then declare

Themselves as kings yet all the while

Destroying all! Such Hate and guile

They think themselves so righteous wise

While cloaked with lies their one disguise

Oh, how I hate to see them Lord

Despising you in one accord

Yet, there I see your arms stretched wide

To bid them come to You, abide

Oh come repentant, sinner come

And bow before Your throne succumb

Unto Your Grace, Your love profound

To there sing praise, Salvation’s Sound

Broken and Sad

So broken, sad my desperate heart

Desires to leave this world, depart

To sit before Your precious throne

And bask within Your love alone

Broken, scarred, no strength, no might

To face the battles I MUST fight

It is there I hear your gentle voice

Bid me to stay and make the choice

To stand once more, Your truth my shield

As to they will I fully yield

In You I have the strength, the might

In darkness, You are my shining light

So, hold me tight within Your hand

That I might do all Your will has planned

Your love, your joy will fill each day

You will give my lips the words to say

So, I might then proclaim Your Glorious Grace

Help others see Your Lovely Face

So that the broken, lost alone

May then repent, make you their own

So all the lost, broken and sad

Come look upon His Cross be glad

For He who died to pay your way

Will come, abide with you today

You will find that there above all measure

He is the one, your greatest treasure

Who takes your lost and broken heart

To there indwell and never depart

His Love for You will never cease

That you might know His Joy and Peace
