Poem

Jesus: 
I stand at the door of the New Year, longing to come in
to inner sanctum of your heart that I may live within

Me:
Do not stand outside and knock, the door is open wide
I beg you not to hesitate, come make your home inside

Jesus:
Beloved, how can that be when sin stands in the way
Allow me to clear it all so we can commune and pray

Me:
Please, clean up my heart of all that displeases you
I want to surrender myself to taste your love so true

Jesus:
Then claim ME Master of your life, and I'll complete this task
Listen closely to my voice, and do just what I ask

Your eyes open now to see time slipping through your hand
Soon I will come again to take you to Promised Land

Is the longing of your heart safety under my wings?
Then give yourself now to me, not matter what life brings

Don't you know I need you so to be forever mine
When nothing you hold back, I will gift you life sublime

I love you more than my own life, died your love to win
You break my heart when you hold back, clinging to your sin

Me:
I wander far away from you, though to my heart you're dear
At this time when New Year starts, I feel your presence near

So it is, I make this vow, to make you my desire
Ignite with your Spirit, Lord, so I can blaze with fire

I proclaim, in holy Name, to make a brand new start
of a life in which You are sole Sovereign of my heart....

I wrote this as a responsive prayer for a church service we had in Nicosia during which we brought in the New Year as a community of believers. I've embellished it and changed the response from All to Me. There is so much that God wants to bless us with through Christ...we just have our hearts full of so many things that we can't receive it all. I know there is much for me to ponder on tonight....Wishing you every blessing...
