Old Man Thinking
Father, You look inside my heart, and what do
You see?
A crippled version of what everyone else sees in
me?
There are two sides to all of us, the one we
want to be,
The one displayed to everyone, but You know the
real me,
Insecurities, fretting, and envy, the one I want
to hide.
I confess them to You, but I desire Your Spirit
to reside
In my heart and deliver me from all these
imperfections.
Satan haunts the Christ-like me, with carnal
predilections.
Seeing Things God's Way
What amazes me, is that you see me as perfect in
Christ,
Free from sin, for Jesus shed his blood and paid
the price.
I so desire to be Your disciple, to follow in
Your way!
It is needful for me to know Your word in all I
do and say.
If only I could be an empty shell and You could
fill me up
With Your loving Spirit of kindness, just like a
waiting cup.
Then I could pouf out to others and know it was
not me.,
But my loving Father who redeemed me and set me
free.
God's Work In Me
Your love comes with no conditions and no
recrimination.
My heart overflows with love, You do not
discriminate.
Your acceptance of the real me, not the me that
others see.
The one with scars and flaws, but the one You
accept as me!
Grace is so amazing, the “ unmerited” favour You
give.
Such an all-encompassing word; it encourages me
to live
Ever close to Your living Word, truly you are my
all in all!
You give me grace, and I know I am forgiven even
when I fall.
THANK YOU LORD!
