Faith and Autumn / Poems By Chad Thieman
Falling Again
Halls of Splendor
There I go, falling again, Another obstacle around the bend, Leading me off the narrow path. Father, I wonder where you are at, When I start falling again. When I question you about this, Your answer always amazes me. You simply say, “My child, You can’t stumble on your knees.” So I get down on my knees, And pray, as humble as I can. I ask you, Father, please, Forgive me for falling once again.
Through halls of splendor, I tarry in this wood, In this forest filled with color, Where God is understood. The leaves dance In this cool autumn breeze, As they fall upon the path Stretched out in front of me. I walk the forest floor On a crisp November morn, Giving praise to the Maker, For all that He has formed. Through halls of splendor, I tarry in this wood; In a forest filled with color, Where God is understood. The leaves dance In this cool autumn breeze, As they glide to the ground From lofty, ancient trees. I walk the forest floor And find serenity, Giving thanks to the Lord For all He’s given me.
