Laura Leiser Poet Rhyme

Illuminate My Heart

                      Illuminate my heart, Oh Lord 
                           Your Spirit, my desire
                      Your Holy Word is like a sword
                            it cleanses like a fire. 

                       Please guide me in Your way
                         to do Your will each day.  
                         on narrow path, I’ll stay. 

                          Refine me from the start
                             illuminate my heart.
