Poem: Son of Man
My name is Candice Ballinger and I am a Christian woman who loves Jesus and his word.
Son of Man
Breaking out of my misery
trusting someone else's timing
bracing for impact,
I wonder when it will be my time
the glory for today,
it doesn't belong to me
watch as He flows into focus,
the Son of Man,
He is the one who holds my heart
He gives me water of life
and bread full of mercy.
Skip a Beat
Am I really all I know?
Left to survive on my own,
my pain I never seem to outgrow
I live in the trees,
swinging from the limbs
and bleeding on the leaves
obviously, I'm not too serious
this hour tracks my lies
grinning in defeat;
the overwhelming sense of dread
with pride I always coceit
making nothing out of something,
my heart still palpitates
listen as it tends to skip a beat
Jesus finds me in my sorrows,
blessing my life
and loving me so.
