College Poem #8

Loving God with my whole heart

Lord, I ask that You would forgive me, for against You have I committed a sin;
I have allowed distractions of this world over Your words to win.
All the possessions and desires of this day and age, which demand so much love and care
From me cannot begin to even imitate Your power and love, for You are truly beyond compare.
Your Word says that I should love You with all my heart, soul, body, and mind;
I should be willing, for You, to give up even the most precious gift from you; as Abraham did bind
Isaac to the altar according to Your command, so should I be willing to let go
The greatest blessing from Your mighty hand, if You say that I must do so.
You say in Your Word that we are Your friends if we will obey Your command.
I pray that I would always be bound to You in love and obey You, no matter what it may demand.
