Oh Lord, my God, there isn't anything this day
That will change our nation more
Than if I, in heartfelt need
At Your feet most humbly fall



Bring ME to the altar Lord
Draw ME to Your throne
Convict MY heart of all MY sin
Your forgiveness know



Teach ME of Your heart, Your truth
To hear all that You say
Cleanse MY soul, renew MY mind
To walk within Your way



Take from ME each worldly love
As I sacrifice my will
My selfishness, cleanse by the cross
Atoning for my guilt



Then, carry me alone by grace
Empowered by Yourself
To live YOUR resurrected life
Within YOUR love to dwell

Poetry From The Heart

If there be anything that can render the soul calm,
dissipate its scruples and dispel its fears,
sweeten its sufferings by the anointing
of love, impart strength to all its actions,
and spread abroad the joy of the
Holy Spirit in its countenance
and words, it is this simple and
childlike repose in the arms of God.
~S. D. Gordon~
