    Stand to Fall

    Why am I here?
    I know I'm not this strong.
    What am I doing?
    I know this won't last long.
    Why am I trying?
    I know this will turn out wrong.
    Why am I leaving?
    I don't want You to be gone.

    But I am reminded,

    Sometimes I stand just to fall,
    But You are here through it all.
    Sometimes I try just to fail,
    But You are waiting through the gale.
    Sometimes I struggle just to stand,
    But when I rise I'm in Your hands.

    I thought I could do it on my own.
    I thought I could just go alone.
    I thought I was strong enough.
    Didn't think the world would call my bluff.
    I fell and I sought the truth.
    I was reminded that I need You.

    I knew I needed You,

    Sometimes I stand just to fall,
    But You are here through it all,
    Sometimes I try just to fail,
    But You are waiting through the gale,
    Sometimes I struggle just to stand,
    But when I rise I'm in Your hands.

    Everywhere I look I see You.
    How can I ignore what you want me to do?
    Everywhere I turn I feel Your love.
    How can that not be enough?
    I'm trying to stand strong by Your side.
    I want to let you be my guide.

    Lord, be my guide,

    Sometimes I stand just to fall,
    But You are here through it all,
    Sometimes I try just to fail,
    But You are waiting through the gale,
    Sometimes I struggle just to stand,
    But when I rise I'm in Your hands.

    I want to stay in Your hands.
    I want to stand.

    it speaks to my very soul. Amen to that and your work is very good. It could easily be a song, or the interprutation of the life of anyone who has fallen from the perfection of our lord, just to find that he is there to help us back up. Thank you for your powerful words and I hope to hear more from you.

    Beautifully put!!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
