Please Let Go of the Rope, World

World, I am addressing you. You are my problem.
I am yelling out to you World, but you won't listen.
Why don't you understand?
How can I make it any clearer?

You hear my cry, you see my pain.
I am crying out to you, World.
I am begging you to get it.
I am begging you to understand.

World, you are crumbling down on me.
I am being buried alive from your lies and your deceit.
What have I done to deserve this?
Is it me who doesn't understand?

World, I see your hurt. I understand your pain.
Why don't you see mine?
Why don't you show me compassion?
The more I beg you to understand me, the more you crumble, World.

World, why do I depend so much on you?
What have you done for me?
All you do is cause me pain.
All you do is cause me hurt.

You are deceitful yet I still run to you for comfort.
World, I think it's time I leave you for someone who cares.
I am tired of being hurt. I want to get rid of my pain.
You don't care about me. You never will.

There is someone much greater than this World.
Someone who has never ending love towards me.
He cares for me. He hears my cry. He understands my pain.
World, you are nothing compared to Him.

He saved me from you, from your wicked ways.
He sees my flaws and still He calls me His.
You on the other hand, World, have rejected me.
You wanted me to fail. You thrived off of seeing my flaws.

But He takes me flaws for me. He takes my pain and provides comfort.
Why did I ever depend on you, World?
I knew about Him yet I still wanted you to understand me.
Why are you so tempting? Why are you so attractive?

World, while you were causing me pain, He was crying for me.
While you were causing me hurt, He was comforting me.
While you were tempting me, He was praying for me.
Why did I ever trust you, World? I knew better, yet I still trusted only in you.

The whole time I was crying out to you, He was pulling me closer.
My soul has been playing tug-a-war.
You vs. Him. World, I know you have a strong hold on me.
But I must tell you World, I am slipping from your hold.

The closer I get to you, the tighter His grip gets.
He made me a promise to never let go.
Long ago, I made a promise to follow Him.
You might as well give up, world.

I am done looking to you for comfort. You can not fill that void for me.
This life I am living is not for you, World.
He is the one I live for. He is the love of my life.
I live this life for Him, my Savior.

Let the rope go. You will not win.
I gave Him my heart long ago.
My soul belongs to Him. Give up, World.
This war has already been won.

Just please let the rope go.
