Crying at Your Feet

As I sit here wandering what to do

I see you standing at the door.

Hearing the knock I know it's you,

but I just can't bring myself to see

that you are here for me.



Later on I see that you're still there

waiting for the time when it's right.

Knowing myself that without you.

I couldn't last the whole night.



How far will I go?

How long will I wait?

To see you waiting for me

at my front gate.

As each day passes

I see you're still there

waiting for me

to give my soul to bare.

Without you in my life

I cannot be complete,

so I'm kneeling here before you

crying at your feet.



As I go through my life I see

the way you look, and how you died for me.

As I walk up to the door I wonder

will you still be there?

Or would I be right to say

that you never cared?



Oh God I hope you're there

cause I know you are the way.

Show me that you care

each and every day.



How far will I go?

How long will we wait?

To see you waiting for us

at our front gates.

As each day passes

Can't we see he's still there

waiting for us

to give our souls to bare.

Without him in your life

You cannot be complete,

so let's kneel before him

and cry at his feet.



Some people still won't believe,

no matter what we do,

but I know how I feel for you Lord.

I know you love me too.



How far will he go?

How long will he wait?

To see us there before him

at Heaven's gate.

As each day passes

He sees we're still here

and he waits for us

to give our souls to bare.

Without you in our lives

we cannot be complete,

so I see you kneeling before me

crying at my feet.



Now I'm standing here before you Lord

telling you to take my life

as I open the door for you

after all of this time.

Hold me in your arms,

and let Me cry

as you hold me all night.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Try to think of something like a mix between Metallica, and Creed with this one.  As with all of my poetry, it comes from my heart, so please feel free to comment on it, whether it's good or bad.  I welcome them all.  Thank you.
