O Lord, I have been left here,
to wander green paths

This gift of life you
have bestowed upon me
is filled with the bounty
of your perfect love

Yet still I wander

With your Word
as my hope
and my shield

I fail you time and time again

Desperate for your triumph
I wait for your return
        yet still I turn
In time
	I will return
In time

	I lay myself at your feet

In time

Your Word is my hope
and I offer you my faith

It is all I have to give

I know it will return
In time

As will I

    This a great poem and I often feel the same way you feel. While I’m trying to get closer to Jesus I keep having my setbacks. But just like I know you won’t I won’t give up trying to get right. Because when it’s all said and done I plan on being up there in heaven with Jesus. This is a really good poem and I plan on reading more of your poetry. If you would like to read some of mine you can find it on http://www.unitedworldpoets.com/.
