Judy Ball Poet Quatrain

Cleaning House

Look into my heart Oh Lord.
See who I truly am;
For You alone can know it,
Can truly understand.

Be a lamp unto my feet,
A sword to thwart my foe.
Light the corners of my mind,
Where fear and hate can grow.

Enter my mind and lock it's door,
To hate and lust and pride.
Arm me with Your mighty Word,
And be my faithful guide.

Show me where my true faults lie,
And help me make it right,
That I may come before Your Throne,
Acceptable in Your sight.

                                 Amen
