I Walked Alone Today

My child I walked alone today,
Where we once walked together.
The sorrow overwhelms me,
When I look to where you've gone.

You didn't mean to stray so far,
From "The Secret Place" we've had.
But the lust within your heart took root,
And it's gone from good to bad.

You've judged my other children,
Who've strayed far from my way.
Whether they've gone the path you have,
Or transgressed "Far worse," you say.

It isn't only lust for fleshly or worldly pleasures,
That separate you from me.
But at times fortune or fame,
Fill my place and take the lead.

You often look back broken-hearted,
And ask me to pull you free,
But I didn't walk away from you,
You walked away from me.

My hand remains outstretched,
As I wait for your return.
Don't put it off too long, my child,
As my love and peace you spurn.

Don't spend your time convincing yourself,
You're much better than they,
For whatever your sin,
My blood covers it all the same way.

(Lord help me to only judge myself,
And walk quickly back to You.
Wash me totally with Your blood,
And let me walk with You renewed.)
