Odu Mkwute Poet Pastoral

New Heart

Create a new heart
within me,
An eager, beating 
bounding heart,
A heart vibrating in 
response to your love.

Let me feel the passion and
pathos of life, of your life.
And be taken captive by
Your bountiful love!
Catching the spell of
your loveliness!

Make me thrilled at the
sound of your footsteps!
And to learn the rapture
of hearing your name!
Being absolved in the
glory of your person.

Let me experience the
glow of excitement,
When the murmur
runs around,
Jesus of Nazareth
passes by!

Then will the weariness
of my heart,
And the languor of
my spirit cease,
Setting my soul 
at full liberty.

For the liberty of 
my flight is,
The Sabbath of my soul
that soars as the eagles,
I will not faint 
nor be weary evermore.
