He knew from the beginning all my needs He understood my weak humanity He chose upon the rugged cross to bleed Saw from afar all my weak vanity Only one reason why I have a need His Holy Spirit tries to guide me right If my human spirit would listen indeed But humanity against good does fight I do need You, Lord, when self rules this life Sometimes upon the throne I sit alone Heart filled with rebellion, enmity, and strife Then reach out and moan, denounce my self's throne Acceptance then surrounds me I've found I do need You, Lord, for Your love abounds

Without Him, we are nothing! What a beautiful testimony to how much we need the Lord in our lives! Beautiful piece - just from the heart, like a prayer! Hugs. Pandita

Pandita, Yes, it is my prayer that I put Him on the throne and not myself. Your comment was uplifting. Thank you for stopping by. Sara

It's hard Sara...Difficult at times in our lives...to let go and let in God...But I've learned when I give in miracles happen...when I don't expect them...All the best my friend

Michael, We do get full of ourselves. It is hard to admit that we need God to rule and not ourselves but He is there waiting patiently for us to let Him in. Thanks for dropping by and taking time to comment. Sara
