Poem #50

Desiring to be used in the Lord’s Work (#50)

Oh Lord, forgive me, for I have become lukewarm.
My limbs are all atremble, like a ship’s beams in a storm.
I realize what my purpose is-the reason I was born.
I pray that You would heal my heart from its state of being torn
Between You and the world. Let Your Spirit through me flow;
Give me the words to say to others, so that You they may come to know.
Use me, oh Lord my God, and give me a heart after Your own.
I pray that my trust in You would be as solid as stone.
Make me a witness, Lord, and may Your Light through me shine.
Open the eyes of others around, that they may see through me the One Divine.
