Listen to poem:
He Touched My Heart
Song by Benny Berry
If you will lend me your ear
I have something to tell you
It's been burning on my heart
And on my mind
For ones that have grown weary
To the ones that are hopeless
In trying to ease their minds
All the troubled hearts that are heavy burden
Just looking for a spark to flame
In knowing it must be something better
Than what mankind is portraying
You have seeked across this earth
For a peace to set you free
Only being left empty seeking
In ones own path for rest
My friend listen to His voice
It's when we give up and call out to Jesus
To find out the treasure was within
To set a fire burning ablaze
Giving a new love , joy and peace
Blazing within this light is revealing
The darkness which held one captive
To the chaos and confusion of this world
The spirit of fire has ignited
And burning away old self desires
Molding and purifying one into a new being
Sadly seeing this world still rejects
From deception of the darkness
That we once were a part of in blindness
But through Jesus one can be set free
Being pulled away from old life style and worries
It's not that we loved God at first
But He loved us to send His son to free one
In knowing nothing in our own works
Will ever release one from deception of darkness
Only through the spirit of Jesus
Keeping in mind to give Him all glory
For all we can do is give up
That He might reign within
Not that we have become good
But that spirit within has given a new mind and heart
That we must submit unto it's Will and desires
Not to fall back into the old self that was placed
Under our feet seeking to come back
Praying for Jesus to stomp it in the ground
Not falling victim from false teachings
The spirit within which saved one shall teach
And the feeling like this can't be real
Why is not everyone else talking of this love
Remembering it was not of own works
Which brought one unto a new life
Igniting the soul to flame
But a broken and contrite heart
Which seeked for better in a dying world
Which is sadly still falling unto deception
Only to be revealed through the spirit
That there is a new path and sight in view
Shinning a light through the darkness
Jesus will touch your heart
And set you free
