My Journey - Visitor's Poem

by Sheeba M
(Calicut, kerala, India)

When my day is done
My God, I stand before You
I bow my head in shame
At all those chances I missed
To help and cheer my friends

When I think of your sacrifice
I bow my head again
At the hardness of my heart
My hurtful words and selfish moves
Has surely cracked another soul

When I think of your infinite love
My God, I am ashamed of my loveless self
If I only I had walked
One step closer to You
I could've loved others more

Oh God when I think of Your Holiness
I am ashamed of my unholy self
The greed, the anger, the bitterness
Oh I've been ruled by all of them
And Lord I've faltered again

I could never afford even a minute more
But for your grace and love divine
I would've been crushed beyond recognition
But for the gentle chords of your love
My broken humble spirit I surrender at your feet
And I pray for grace to lead me
In thy footsteps again
