He Will Meet Me On My Knees

I don't usually post poetry on my blog, but I wanted to share this one with you. Sometimes we just need to be reminded that we can come to Jesus and let him restore our broken hearts.

He Will Meet Me On My Knees

My white dress fluttered gently

As the breeze went through my hair

And the congregation waited

As I met the preacher there

Standing at the altar

I pledged my heart to stay

With each soul present as my witness

I would never walk away.

And my hungry heart surrendered

Knowing He would never leave

As I let His love enfold me

And He met  me on my knees.

But after years of faithfulness

I met temptations sting

And I wandered into darkness

My first love, no longer seen

As I wandered through the wilderness

A new love locked my embrace

We ran together through the darkness

Far away from Heaven’s grace.

And my wild heart offended

The one who said He’d never leave

As I pushed His love away from me

And refused to bend my knees.

No longer guided by compassion

My new love met the sting

And his wayward heart betrayed me

As life brought me to my knees

On my face before my Father

Not knowing where to turn

I begged for the forgiveness

That I could never earn.

And my broken heart remembered

That He said He’d never leave

When I let His love enfold me

He would meet me on my knees

And my healing heart repented

Thankful, He would never leave

When I let His love restore me

As He met me on my knees
