I suppose that this is kind of an experimental pattern. I’m not quite sure why I have little interludes between the rhyming sections, but it seems like they are supposed to be there; parts of it doesn’t make as much sense without them there as context. X) I call this one, “In Him.” ๐
In Him
Lifeless.
I felt like Snow White in a deep slumber
Dead to the world; sawing away lumber
No true loveโs kiss can fix the blunder
I could not have felt any number
withinโฆ
Paralyzed.
I am animate, not really asleep
I am not snoring, not making a peep
Sometimes I think I am in too deep
Maybe I should take a flying leap
of faithโฆ
Awakening.
Overcoming sin, on my own, I tried
Iโm incapable โ at this realization, I cried
I see that for all, including me, He has died
He is ready, He is able; I let Him inside
my soulโฆ
He cares.
My Savior rebuilds me when I tumble
His loving arms catch me when I stumble
His hands put me together whenever I crumble
And He forgives me when I fumble
He is there…
I wonder.
Why did I not accept Him before?
He created me, down to my core
He wants me to be free, to soar
To chase after Him, more and more
each dayโฆ
I believe.
He has the power to forgive
His love for us flows like a sieve
Thus, for Him, my Father, I live
My life to My Redeemer, I give
Iโm Yoursโฆ
I live for You.
My faith is not based on a whim
With The Light, lifeโs not so dim
The future no longer looks grim
Iโm no longer lifeless, but living in Him!
Can I take this and turn it into a song?

Yes, you may! It would make me so happy if you do that! ๐ Thanks so much for asking, this made my day! ๐ (“In Him” was actually originally intended to be a song, but I can’t read music very well and I have no idea how to create a melody. XD) Have fun, and if you think about it, I’d love to know how it goes! ๐
