Tainted with Strife

by Melissa Shepherd

My name means sweet

and sweetened with honey.

 

Some say my sign can sweep

you off your feet

and make you feel funny.

 

However, within the last days of mine

I feel the running of time.

 

Time catches up with me too quick,

and I feel I’m in a stick.

 

What can I do oh LORD of mine,

when I feel the running of time?

 

My house is full of disaster

and being full of strife seems my answer.

 

Even though I know I am wrong

and I know what I need to do,

I am stick in a throng

and twirling through a kazoo.

 

Help my GOD – save me from my strife!

Make me new again – cut my sin with your knife!

 

Your word is like a double-edged sword,

which tells me I desperately need you my LORD.

 

It tells me I need you every day

and tells me never to stray.

 

Please remove me of being wicked

as I am a slave to my sins

which have piled up into a thicket.

 

I love you my LORD.

and I know you will help me,

and make my sins flee.

 

A cord of two strands is not easily broken,

- but a cord of three strands

no one can be against that which is spoken.

 

Bind me in your truth,

test my heart in your perfection,

tell me through you WORD

how I can better my thought collection.
