some writings

I found some writing I did over 10 years ago. I am amazed at the consistency of my soul's longing for God. Back then, I found myself looking at how much my desire to do for God did not always make me feel close to God. I think this poem/song reflects that struggle.. from 2004. .. maybe earlier.

My desire Lord, is to be like You

I want to serve You in all I do

I want my life to be a testimony of Your love

I desire Lord, to be like You

You have made it all so simple

All I have to do is pursue You

My Creator and my King

All I have to do is follow after You

I don’t understand why I turn from Your truth

Why I live my life in tears

But I know that if I only ask 

You will forgive my doubts and my fears

So I raise my hands up to You and I pray

Make my life worthy of You

Be in control of everything I do

Walk beside me and always guide me

Keep me always in Your hand

When I fall, help me stand

Raise my eyes to You again

Fasten my heart on Your mercy

Permeate my soul with Your joy

Walk beside me and always guide me

Keep me always in Your hand
