I have grieved Jesus



I have ignored him
I have turned away
from the calling of Jesus
pretending not to hear him
lost on my path

I have ignored him
choosing destruction
years and years wandering
separated from God

I have rejected him
Jesus, my Savior,
too comfortable in the world
I have turned my back
on the call of Jesus

A willful child      
passive – aggressive
seeking my own path
in the way of the world
