HEART THAT PRAYS UNTO THE LORD
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who reproves our bad motives
As well as our doubtfulness due to humanistic perspectives---
He disciplines us from craving for worldly incentives
By His principles’ directives.
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who rebukes our hypocritical secrecy
As well as our discontentment when we feel insufficiency---
He straightens us up for our supplication-fervency
By His mercy’s persistency.
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who restrains our earthly desires
As well as our carnal yearnings for temporal wealth that soon expires---
He guards us so as not to plunge into lustfulness’ mires
By His revival fires.
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who smites our offensive indolence
As well as our disobedient silence---
He awakens us from fruitlessness’ opulence
By His working’s prevalence.
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who negates our opposing disposition
As well as our wrong direction---
He leads us toward Scriptural action
By His sanctification’s transformation.
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who subdues our shameful haughtiness
As well as our arrogant selfishness---
He builds us up for faith-strengthened service-effectiveness
By His perfection’s holiness.
Our heart prays unto the Lord Who corrects our wrong choice
As well as our proud poise---
He upholds us so we can submit to Him against deception’s noise
By His truth’s conviction as in Him we always rejoice.
