I like to post some of my older works to show how my writing as progressed through the years. This poem is not one of my favorites but still a part of my heart. I wrote this poem over 20 years ago. I was going through a difficult time in my life and felt that my faith was hanging by a thread. I don’t know why God allows bad things to happen but today I know he helped me get through it and for that I’m thankful. The first 2 lines was stuck in my head for several days when I decided to release it by writing this poem. For me it’s like that at times, not a want to write but a burning need to write. Writing has always been therapeutic for me as it is for many other people.
What Am I to Do
My sweet Jesus, I call out to you.
Oh, sweet Jesus, what am I to do?
If ever I needed you, now is the time.
Search my heart, I’m sure you will find
pain and hurt, like never before.
With each passing day I need you more.
Help me to do that which is right
so others may see in me your perfect light.
Please forgive me for the mistakes I’ve made.
At the foot of the cross my sins I’ve laid.
Thank you for dying on the cross for me
and giving me new life for eternity.
For this, my life will never be the same.
May I bring honor and glory, to your sweet name.
My sweet Jesus, I’ve called out to you!
Oh, sweet Jesus, what am I to do?
