Only God Can Judge Me

Only god can judge me
I guess he didn’t
like what he was seeing
because my back
is against a wall
and I’m seconds from
sliding down to the floor

He must have gotten
tired of watching me
do evil things
and despite the pain I feel
now I know it’s
because god is trying
to save me.

He’s trying to change me.
He has laid his hands on me
I’m gonna let him remove
all the toxic rain drowning me

So I let the tears fall
as if I'm grieving a lost one
I’m fighting inside to come out
of this sorrow alive

I know he’s watching over me
No in a judgmental light
god understand sometimes
everyone slips under
He knows sometimes
they need his help to fight

So I'll wait and pray
I’ll know he’s forgiven me
when I’m able to smile again
when the pain subsides
and I can finally heal
I will thank Jesus
for not abandoning me
when I felt hopeless.
It’s because of him
that I rise again.
