So this is a poem (song?) I’ve been working on for a while and I just cant get anything to sit right with me as far as the flow or lyrics. I’m trying to talk about my tendency to run from God but it just sound so…cheesy. Anyway, I need some constructive criticism and some feedback. Leave comments below.
Feels like I’m caught in a constant battle
against what I’ll become
It’s a constant war against myself
Struggling not to run
My flesh, constant reminder
of my frail depravity
but also of a greater work in me
So God, keep me nearer so I can hear your breath
Stir my soul to need you and bind up my flesh
Hold me tighter, to your heart
Never let me go
I wanna be right by your side
Love your Runaway Bride
If all my body wants to do
Is run fast far away from you
Yet I’m here, I can conclude
that Jesus took my running shoes.
