"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!!!!
