MY LORD AND MY GOD

Image
  I love You Lord, my strength. My Lord and my God My God and my all My Lord, my life and my love I adore You profoundly To You I surrender, give and offer my whole self For the glory of Your Name For the Mercy of Your plan For the salvation of the world O God You are my God For You I long For You my soul is thirsting  My body pines for You Like a dry weary land without water Through all my disordered affections O Lord it is You who are my portion and cup Against you alone have I sinned O God be merciful to me a sinner Heal me Lord and I shall be healed Save me and I shall be saved For you are my praise. Heal me with the medicine of repentance Grant O Lord a joyful purity of heart Guard me as the apple of Your eye Hide me in the shadow of Your wings It is Your face O Lord that I seek Hide not Your face Show me Your face Let me hear Your voice For Your voice is sweet And Your face is beautiful (A compilation of Scripture and other aspirations that I pray every day)

An April Wind

An April wind swirls About the open door Of the church Gathering fallen feathers To itself The lingering leaves Of last year’s Autumn And every bit of debris That comes its way Sweeping all of it Onto the recently Vacuumed carpet Like some prophetic saying! Are these My own old sins Come back to haunt Or new ones freshly revealed? Or are they the sorrows Of our people And those of strangers Seeking solace here? And is the wind The Holy Spirit That gathers them in?
