In My Heart
by Barbara Philbrook

I welcome you in my heart and surrender what I am,
use me somehow to fulfill your master plan.

Use my thoughts and my inner desires,
cause within me raging fires.

Take what used to be useless and worthy of nothing good,
and turn me into what you always knew you could.

Take this self pitying child of sin,
and way deep inside a new person begin.

Remove all traces of anger and greed,
and fill my heart with all the love I'll need.

Erase the scars caused during life on earth,
and make me into a person of worth.

Help me not to be judgmental of others,
reminding me constantly all men are my brothers.

Teaching that I am incapable of even the most minuscule task,
but all things are possible with you if only I'll ask.

Reminding me everything asked in faith is received,
the faith given me by you is how I first believed.

Nothing is impossible with you on my side,
Thank You for choosing my heart in which to abide.
