I'm Not A Broken Soul
Saved by His Grace
I shouldn’t have
To Apologize
For mistakes every
Christian has made
Nor should
I have to justify
The fact
I wake up
Every Sunday
To attend Church
My Faith has carried
Me through
The darkness
It has taught
Me to soar.
I shouldn’t have
To bare the
Verbal darts
Others throw
Calling me names
Simply because
I believe
I’ve seen his
Hand at work
I’ve stood before
A miracle and praised
God,
And I’ve felt the
Pain of loss
But he was always
There.
I am not
About spelling out
A narrative
That is not me
I’m not
The picture perfect
Christian
By any means
But I’m not
The sum of
The mistakes
Christians have ever made.
I’ve Struggled
I’ve Fallen
I’ve Had life
Take me
To its knees
While others
Throw
There darts
At me
Hypocrite
Prejudice
Fool
Ignorant
Because you
Believe
But that’s not
Me
So take
Those labels
And slap
Them
On yourself
I’m not a broken
Individual
I’m saved by his
Grace.
