Today is guest writer Lynn Gipson. Perhaps you’ll feel a kinship with her soul as I do.

Shelter Me, Jesus

by lynn gipson

9-25-2012 / Poetry

Days remorseful and remembering

Times of recalling old sadness

Yesteryear’s sins come back to haunt

Shelter me Jesus, from the madness

 

 

Sprinkling tears on the face of the past

Memories rushing through my brain

Wasted years of life’s sad longing

Shelter me Jesus, from the pain

 

 

Weaving regrets into a tapestry

Threads of silver and of gold

Binding up my tattered heart

Shelter me Jesus, from my soul

 

 

On my knees now in humility

Dear Lord, I pray in silent reverie

My spirit cries out for new salvation

Shelter me Jesus, from the enemy

 

 

Running towards your open arms

Fleeing from a yonder ghost

Wrapped up in your loving grace

Shelter me Jesus, hold me close
