And Thus He Spoke To Me

Today

      On a day like this

          I hopped in the car, nervous and anxious for the words to come

              And silently was thankful, for we were late

                      Good, we'll miss some of the singing.

                                Singing is always rather tiresome.

                                     And sure enough the car pulled forward

        And the praises were being sung

        And so we joined in, despite not knowing this song

                                     My lips quivered and spoke, singing with the masses

                                And as I raised my hands in worship

                       She knelt, and so did her mother, singing the praises I sang so hollow-ly before

               And it took that song, that one song of british descent, to open my eyes

            And I sobbed.

And I wailed, falling to my knees and begging fo my God's forgiveness

       For only truly today have I woken from my deep sleep

            And have accepted His word fully and entirely

                       Oh my God, my Lord and my salvation, where have I been all this time??

                                Missing such words of divine grace and devotion!

  What a waste I have been until now!

This means so much! I can totally relate to this. I used to hate the singing. But God touches you in remarkable ways and now all I want to do I praise Him! I love the detail and the word choice. It's like reliving a memory

I love all poems regarding faiths of all kinds!
great story, though doubtfully a poem

just a remark: you was talking with "I" the entire piece and on line 13 pops "she" ?

Of course, I was talking about my amazing friend Karalynn :) We went to church together with her mom and sister :)
