   with my eyes closed, on bended knees
   Lord i lay my problems, at Your feet
   my broken heart, Jesus please rebuild
   and lead me to do, all of Gods will
   i devoted my life to You, many years ago
   while submerged in water, i took an oath
   to live Christ like, and repent mistakes
   and walk not by sight, be be lead by Faith
   and my blessings are abundant, so i truly believe
   You will provide, all that i need
   but Lord - since the day, that i got baptized
   i've been constantly violated and victimized
   my eyelashes are still moist, from all the tears i have wept
   and sometimes i feel, like i'm all by myself
   trying to live in Your name, and be strong and righteous
   against men of the world, who do not think like Us
   so God please give me the strength, to forgive like You
   as i continuously fall victim, to the evil that men do
   i've been deceived by foes, who came disguised as friends
   as i constantly open my heart, and let them all in
   it seems like everytime i try to help, the down-trodden and meek
   they've mistaken my kindness, and perceived me as weak
   i've been slandered, stole from, and spat upon
   and Lord it's getting so hard, for me to carry on
   without thoughts of retaliation, anger and Vengeance
   yet i know i must remain obediant, as Your servant and witness
   that's why Lord, i come to you on bended knees
   and ask you to remove, all thoughts like these
   i pray you empower me, with all the strength that i have sought
   help me to appreciate my gifts, and not cry over things i lost
   please renew my compassion and love for my Brethren
   and help me to forgive them all, seventy-times-seven
   finally Lord, as i graciously forgive, i have one humble request
   please pardon me for not appreciating how much i've been Blessed

   Hey 'theinspiring1', welcome to Hubpages.  I'm pretty new myself.  I've read your three poems and they're good.  Make sure you create hubs for them though, otherwise they will get lost in the forum.
