A Familiar Road By Jeremy Thomas Holr

  Familiar Road by Jeremy Thomas Holt 

I’ve come upon a familiar place 

Here we go again

I’ve been here before 

I stand Facing a familiar road  

Why am I here again

All that goes through my mind

Is what I went through before 

On this same old road 

The things I did and the mistakes I made 

Threatened to destroy me 

It’s a haunting past i wish I could forget

I was lost in a world beyond our own 

I was blinded by lies and deceit

I was used and abused,

I was taken advantage of 

Got my heart broken in half

My world was crumbling 

I was ready to give up

But then You came 

You rescued me 

Your light shined bright 

You took my in Your arms 

You gave me life

You gave me strength 

You gave me purpose 

You opened my eyes

Through You I could see 

I am more than my mistakes 

I am more than my past 

I am no longer blinded by lies and deceit 

My heart was made whole 

You rescued me from a crumbling world 

You gave me hope when I had none  

I’ve learned so much from walking this same old road 

I learned that I tried to hard 

That I tried on my own 

That wouldn’t let You help me

That I wouldn’t trust in You 

That I thought to much of myself and not enough of You

That I was impatient 

That I thought I knew what things were meant for me 

That I ignored Your warnings 

Not trusting in You was my biggest mistake and it almost cost me everything 

Never again will I make that mistake 

But now as I stand facing a familiar road

I remember all the things that I learned rather than my mistakes 

I realize now that I’ve learned to trust in You 

That I’ve learned not to ignore You

That I’ve learned to let You help me and guide me 

That I’ve learned that I don’t always know what things are meant for me

That I’ve learned not to think too much of myself and to think more of You 

That I’ve learned not to ignore Your warnings 

That I’ve learned to be patient and trust in Your timing 

And that I’ve learned not try this life on my own anymore

I thank you Lord for showing me what I was doing wrong and how to Trust in You and do things right. 

You rescued me and I could never thank you enough for what You have done for me. 

Thank You Lord for rescuing me from the familiar road. In Jesus Name amen!!!
