The Battle within...

The Battle within

My Lord, my God, my Savior, please Reign within my heart,

In all of it's entirety, not merely in a part!

For I can feel the weakness in my heart, and in my soul,

Please open up each hidden recess, make my spirit whole!

 

My inner nature fights to overcome Your Work in me!

Please cleanse my soul with Jesus' Word and set my spirit free!

And thank You Lord that You, in Truth, can see my hidden sin!

For Only You can truly change my heart and soul within!

 

And Jesus, my dear Jesus, thank You for all You have done!

By Saving me, as my own hope, of which You are The One!

And change me, sift me, cleanse my heart from every single wrong!

And thank You, Lord, I praise Your Name, that to You I belong!

About the Poet
I am 64, a born-again Christian, and didn't write until 1974. My mother inspired me to write poetry, from an early age since she developed a deep love for poetry in my life. However it took years before I tried to write. My favorite subject to write about is my Savior, Jesus Christ, and religious subjects. I reside in Cleveland, Ohio.
