Poetry For The Lord- Why Me? I Am Most Unworthy

WHY ME? I AM MOST UNWORTHY


Out of the darkness you called me into the light
You never even considered how vile I was
I was lost and struggling in the quagmire
of earthly existence
But you stretched out your hand
and reached out for me

Oh, you never gave me rest
Even though I was wallowing in
sinful living and earthly pursuits
Yet your voice was always there
soothing, reassuring, always gently knocking
at the door of my heart

So many times I disregarded you as I ventured to
establish my niche in life
So many times I pushed you to the farthest
corners of my heart and mind in vain
pursuit of fame and fortune
How arrogantly I stood, proud and
stiffnecked as I gamely took on
all comers in the mad races
for earthly prizes

But you brought me down
as I grovelled in the dust
You showed me the errors of my ways
That I was running the wrong race and
competing for the deceptive prize
I did not know that I have to pay the ultimate
price for it - my soul
But you called me just in time

So here I am, ready to do your bidding
As I rise from the ashes of my former darkened existence
Here I am, adding yet another forlorn voice to gently
call those who are still struggling and sinking
deeper in the mudhole of earthly living
I know it's a thankless job, one fraught
with persecutions and calumny
But I can do no less than
My Savior who paid the ultimate price to save my
languishing soul

WHY ME? I AM MOST UNWORTHY


"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY
BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL
NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE." (John 3: 16)


"GREATER LOVE HAS NO ONE THAN THIS, THAT HE LAY DOWN
HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS." (John 15: 13)
