What started as a simple prayer starter became this my latest poem. In my devotions about a week ago, there was a simple sentence to help with starting prayer session that day. It was this: Lord, I lay my heart before you. Right away I went into poetic mode and came up with all the ways I lay down my heart before The Lord. Do you lay your heart down for Him?
Lord, I lay my heart before you
Lord, I lay my heart before you
burdened with all its sorrows
for You are the only one who knows
the key to undoing it all
Lord, I lay my heart before you
heavy with hurts and pain
never will I experience alone again
for you are with me always
Lord, I lay my heart before you
beaten and broken
but not forsaken
because Your love for me endures forever
Lord, I lay my heart before you
covered in shame and bitterness
humbled and ready to receive forgiveness
for all my iniquities against You
Lord, I lay my heart before you
in total thanksgiving
for the many blessings
You have showered upon me
Lord, I lay my heart before you
with joy and admiration
knowing my salvation
comes from believing in Christ My Savior
Lord, I lay my heart before you
convicted but protected
by Your son who was rejected
so I can be free
Lord, I lay my heart before you
with confidence and faith
that one day we'll meet face to face
a comfort I'll hold near always and forever
Lord, I lay my heart before you
praising and thanking
for the cleansing
that only comes from you
Lord, I lay my heart before you
freely, truly I give my all
no way will I let this wall
come between you and I
Lord, I lay my heart before you
You are always welcome
throughout my home
in hopes that your will be done.
Lord, I lay my heart before you

This poetry is not only Praise to God but it is also a testimony of His work in my life. Even when I haven't paid attention, He was there through it all. God Loves Me even though I am not perfect and that's enough for me.
