Words
of my prayer
that
I lift up to God
as
I enter Your Word
that
I would be given words
for
my heart, and words to share;
Words
to stop and ponder
to
remember Christ’s sacrifice
that
we are made in God’s image;
but
we are made of clay.
That
God doesn’t make junk
but
we make a mess, chaos
walking
away from God
my
clay lost in the world
wallowing
in the mud.
Where
I should be, who I belong to
the
simple message of grace
a
vessel chipped, but made empty
these
words pouring out of me
of
God’s love, His grace.
Ready
for the next blessing
for
words to come to me, that God loves us,
this
is my prayer, that God would use me
yes,
Lord, even me, that I would keep writing.
As
You tell me to do, when I listen,
when
my mind finds stillness
hearing
Your voice clearly
calling
to me, to write to share
these
Words of my prayer.
