I Keep Running Back To You

So often I mess up my days

I judge harshly

I am critical and obstinate

I waste time and energy

I blame others for my failure.

There are people I try to avoid

And tasks I try to evade

And when I can’t have my own way

I sulk in my own little corner.

I even turn my back on you…

To escape your penetrating gaze.

Then I finally get fed up with myself,

The intolerable loneliness frightens me

And I can no longer endure the shame

It always happen, you know

And I keep running back to you.

Where else can I go?
Who else understands me so well

Or forgive me so totally?

Who else can save me from foolish pride?

No one else….but you.

So thank you for accepting me

For loving me

For always welcoming me

I just can’t help it…

I keep running back to you, Lord.
