Listen to poem:

Give My Heart To You

Song by Benny Berry 

In the day when one awakes
To take notice of the walls
They have built to block out
This evil from the world
Becoming a prisoner in these walls
Held captive in blindness
Locked to this world in chains
We have tried our own path
And nothing seems to work out
Falling victim unto a bottomless pit
Seeking and climbing for a way out
To be set free of this heart of stone
Unknown pride, hate and lust of worldly things
That were instilled within from deception
We fight against our own path to lead
Into a final place of happiness but none found
Only to be found when we just give up the fight
Say oh God my way is no good 
Finally found in your word to say humanly
It  is impossible to make it in the flesh
Into your kingdom from which we are born 
We need to be reborn of your spirit
This is when we see we need to die to old self
Through your spirit to receive new heart of love
In this moment to break down our walls 
That we might be released from the bondage
Of being held captive in this chaos
Separated from within and from this world
Give my heart to you to lead and direct 
Wow who would have known we just got to give up
And seek Jesus to receive true love, peace and joy.
All the treasures are within one should be seeking
Only to be found when being in the spirit being
Then just waiting for the day to see the reward
Cherishing and holding on tightly
Not to let the enemy try and steal it
Jesus teach my eyes and mind of your ways
For it shines a light unto his darkness 
Lord let many give their heart to you
Now we know your worth dying for
Let us escape these prisoner walls 
Which we are all in until breaking out
May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you
With His love, peace, spirit and joy in abundance

Valsa George February 4, 2023 at 8:26 PM We have been held captive in our own cage for long. However hard we tried, we couldn't set ourselves free until we turned to God. Only with His help and dying to the old self, we will be able to shatter all bondages that bind us tight. When you make this testimony through your own life, it becomes much more convincing dear Stephan. Great poem, dear friend. Stephan McBride February 5, 2023 at 5:46 AM Amen, valsa , very true my friend, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance: )

Sotto Poet February 3, 2023 at 2:20 PM When people are killing one other out of hate every day, it's easy to wonder if it's even possible for us to love each other. Wonderful poetry. Stephan McBride February 3, 2023 at 6:20 PM It's awful my friend it's everywhere, my friend said this one clinic in Atlanta,Ga does over 80 abortions a day, the beast in people is coming out,it's becoming hard for one to love their self much less another, only through Christ spirit can we love all ,to know what' others can become if they seek,He changed me so I have hope any can be changed,it's a battle my friend to see this world exact opposite of what God desires,

Anne-Lise Andresen February 3, 2023 at 9:33 AM - I fully understand that people doubt in this world we live in, Stephan ... how much we can love - while humans kill each other in hate ... daily ... a lovely poem :) - hugs Stephan McBride February 3, 2023 at 10:48 AM Amen, as was I in doubt, all glory to God which showed me different, without God in ones life what is purpose or meaning I get it my friend, : ). Even now I don't seek religion but the spirit within to guide, hugs , hope you are doing great All these that kill have no clue Satan is in them either claiming their souls, which he has many everywhere sadly
