Cleaning House

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.

                                                     Judy Ball
