Obedience To Jesus

I yearn to obey You, dear Jesus
To do Thy Will and not my own
I want to be who You say I am
Not someone I don’t like at all

I hunger for Your acceptance
And reach out for Your hand
To lead me in the right direction
To joy, peace and love that abounds

I desire Your sweetest compassion
The reassurance that I’m saved
From sin and hell, all that it encompasses
The far reaching shadows of the grave

I thirst for Your gentle guidance
Helping me to always find a way 
To discover the grace in every heart
And the peace that protects my mind

I crave Your unconditional love for me
A love that knows no restraints at all
Love that is so alive for me that I can’t
Help feeling so assured of it’s glory

I implore You to always find a way for me
To take the time to give generously 
With a heart that aspires to be as Yours
So tender and warm that it always understands

I beseech You to find a way for me to go
Where I can always learn lessons from above
Lessons of joy, hope, faith, truth and love
That is greater than any gift I could ever earn

I pray to You, dear Jesus, that You will stay by my side
Forever a friend that leads me to do what is right
And give to others a sense of all that You’ve instructed
Kindness, acceptance, wisdom, welcoming, true love

I love You with all of my heart, sweet Jesus
And want You to know all my thoughts
That seek to find ways to bring to You
The greatest gifts that can come from me
