In My Life's Void
Conquering the v o i d plaguing my soul
separating me from triumph toward iniquity’s pole…
I seek God to drive me within His salvation goal
forgiving me by His blood’s cleansing role.
Whenever v o i d fills my flawed humanity
making me long for comfort’s serenity…
I turn to the Lord’s restoring tranquility
reinvigorating me against insecurity.
Struggling due to the v o i d in my spirit
letting me fall into confusion’s pit…
I plead to the Almighty for His guiding wit
uplifting toward enlightening summit.
Afflicted by trials causing v o i d in my faithfulness
bringing me to grope in doubts’ darkness…
I yearn for the Saviour’s loving kindness
establishing by His Word’s reinforcing truthfulness.
Facing v o i d challenging my dedication
scoffing every pursuit to reach standard’s direction…
I cleave to Christ Who exemplifies perfection
straightening me by His exhortation and admonishing sanction.
Yielding to temptation exposing v o i d in my virtuous desire
pushing me to sink into carnality’s mire…
I cling to the Master Who can carry me to His sanctification fire
guarding me by His holiness’ transforming ire.
Conscious of the v o i d* in my service commitment
expressing heart’s compromise for world’s compliment…
I admit my frailty and beg for the Holy Ghost’s empowerment
strengthening me to fulfill my best by His gracious engagement.
*Psalm 119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
