After God’s Own Heart ~

I want to have a heart,
after God’s own heart
so that into it . . .
His mercy He’ll impart.

I want to be humble,
reverent and respectful
I want to be for my sins
repentant and regretful.

I want to be trusting,
fearless and faithful
I want to be obedient
thankful and grateful.

I want to be considerate,
loving and compassionate
I want to be devoted
fervent and passionate.

I want a heart like David’s,
one willing to go and do
anything that God asks . . .
I want to be loyal and true!

Acts 13:22

“And when he had removed him,
he raised up unto them David
to be their king; to whom also
he gave their testimony, and said,
I have found David the son of Jesse,
a man after mine own heart,
which shall fulfil all my will.”

Lord, Please Do Tell ~

Oh Lord please do tell,
what it is You do see
whenever You look . . .
into the heart of me.

Do You see a life,
full of faithfulness
one full of hope
filled with truthfulness.

Do You see a mind,
full of obedience
one full of surrender
filled with resilience.

Do You see a soul,
full of forgiveness
one full of grace
filled with stillness.

Do You see a heart,
full of kindness
one full of mercy
filled with mildness.

Oh Lord please do tell,
what in my heart You do see
that we need to change . . .
so I can be more like Thee!

Romans 8:29

“For whom he did foreknow,
he also did predestinate to be
conformed to the image of his Son,
that he might be the firstborn
among many brethren.”
