God Holds Me

Had to write a personal Psalm for the Reclaim group I'm co-leading at Pinelake. 
This was my first attempt.  It isn't bad, but it doesn't really seem like a psalm to me.

I hid in shame

Closed off in despair

Not realizing

That God,

You held hope.

I lived with sadness

Crying for an end

Not caring

That God,

You held my life

My days were filled with darkness

All alone with guilty thoughts

Until the day you showed me

That God,

You held my light.

I set out on a new path

It has been a rocky journey

I know each time I stumbled

That God,

You held my hand

I know I’ve been forgiven

And brought into the light.

My debt has now been paid

And God,

You hold my heart
