Poem - Walk of Shame


I should've seen the writing on the wall
Lord taught me right from wrong
But I walked right into that brier
And now my only hope's his fire

You could say that I'm just stupid
That I didn't mean any wrong
But I knew, I knew full well
'Bout pain that'd come from that fall

So I look you in the eye
I see the pain wrapped in your tears
My hands are empty, open wide
You can hate me it's your right

You open up your heart to me 
Your forgiveness sets me free
I should never leave your side
You always help me choose what's right

Please, oh please forgive me
I'm just a broken, hollow man
Please, oh please forgive me
Without you I don't stand a chance
Please, oh please forgive me
I'm crawling back again
Please, oh please forgive me
Jesus, I need a hand

The Vineyard


The Vineyard

Living in a paradise, though I think its all the same
I work to earn all that I have, and I complain every day
Nothing ever seems enough, despite all that I have
Could God just give me a break, I rub my calloused hands

Finally luck has come my way, everything seems to be right
I've got more than I've ever had , for once things aren't so tight
I thank the Lord for all I got, I deserve it after all
Maybe now I can get away, but what's this, I have a call?

The preacher he is a tugging on my wallet every Sunday
Sick kids on the TV, yeah they're dying every day
Maybe I could give a dollar, but I know it won't stop there
Who am I really after all, a man of help or full of greed?

What will I do at the vineyard
Will I let your lone Son in?
What will I do when the time comes?
Will I love you?
Will I sin?
