my prayer to You tonight

in a poetic mood i guess... sometimes i just feel the Lord communicates to me better through rhyme...

I’m sick of the way I’ve been treating my God

I’m disgusted by how quick I ignore Him

The one Who in glory has given His all to me

I’m so quick to put me before Him

So my prayer before You tonight, O Lord

Is that you’d strip me of my selfish ways

That you’d ruin this heart for all but You,

And keep me from going astray

Oh precious Lord, be my vision

Let not earthly matters catch my gaze

Pour out Your love in abounding measure

so I’d be drawn to you all my days.

Give me ears to hear and a humble heart

And a spirit that’s willing to obey

Keep me abiding in the Lord Jesus Christ

May You be my hope and stay.
