Lord, I lay my heart before You

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

About Me

My photo
We all have gifts given to us by The Lord God above even before we were a glint in our parents eye. The Lord designed each one of us to have a gift. What we choose to do with the gifts he gives us is what matters. I chose to share my gift with the world. I'm not a professional. I have had no educational training in poetry writing other than basic english that they teach you in school. All my poems are inspired by God's word and the desire to have a better relationship with him. I have also been inspired by life events that God has led me to healing for. I am a mother of 2 boys trying to do my best to please the father and raise my boys to live the same way.
