"ARE YOUR ARMS WIDE OPEN?"
🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐
Lord, I want to confess that I wronged you and am a sinner,
My mind has been troubled to an extent of growing thinner.
Life has become useless, as I can't enjoy my dinner.
Looking for you is a mission I have embarked on,
Life has never been easy without you and it is hard to move on.
Your love was so beautiful and resonant that I can't forget the tone.
Your pictures of the cross are irresistible to delete from my phone,
✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
Your blood is fresh and much stronger than a bone.
You are a saviour of all the time and season.
Breaking off from our relationship was more like going to prison.
My life without you is like going to China without a reason.
I no longer go to the parties I left your temple for,
I am walking on broken clutches and I fear to fall.
I will knock cause I believe you will open your door,
I will pick up my phone just to answer your call.
My height is nothing even though am tall.
I have got no where to go, because I have lost the direction like a ball,
The devil and his agents are striking to score.
My strength has petered out and I can't stop the devil from making a goal.
Lord who is going to rescue me when the devil scores?
When my body grows some irritating sores,
Who is going to leak at them and prevent me from shame?
I am afraid I don't want to be condemned.
My life has always been the same,
I don't want to join the devil to accomplish fame!!!!
