Drifting Away
(Written By Candice Landis 01/12/2016)
I Felt Myself Drifting Away
The Pull Of Gods Love Seeming To Fade
Don't Get Me Wrong I Still Had Faith
I Could Just Feel Myself Drifting Away
I Realized It Most When I Heard Myself Speak
Then I Started Noticing Thoughts I Would Think
Negativity Was Building Like Dirty Dishes In A Kitchen Sink
I Could Feel Myself Teetering On The Brink
I Noticed Memories Once Again Haunting Me From The Past
The Devil Was Back And He Was Having A Blast
Trying To Make Me Feel Guilty And Ashamed
Trying To Get Me To Once Again Point Fingers Of Blame
I Had Stopped Studying The Word
Had Even Stopped Getting Out Of Bed For Church
Feeling Depressed About What I Did Not Know
I Had Given All My Angst To God, I Had Let It All Go
I Began Having Problems Falling Asleep
Lying In Bed Staring At The Ceiling Listlessly
Then I Heard God Whisper, Cleanse Your Mind Daughter, And Come Back To Me
All It Takes Is Faith As Small As A Mustard Seed
I Prayed For God To Become My Coach
He Said You Have To Work With Me Child
Ignore The Darkness And Let The Devil Be Exiled
Follow My Foot Steps In Displaying Love And Compassion
Seek My Path With Purpose And Take Action
Offer Kind Words And Loving Encouragement
Let People Share In Your Spiritual Nourishment
Love Me With Passion As I Love You
With Me There Is Nothing You Can Not Do
Walk In My Light And When Darkness Comes Hang On To Me Tight
For You My Child I Will Always Fight
I Turned To Biblical Sermons And My Bible And I Made Up My Mind
I Was Getting Up For Church And I Was Going To Be On Time
As I Walked In The Door And Headed To My Pew
I Heard Him Whisper, You Are Mine And I Am Alive In You .
