Search Our Heart Lord

Search Our Heart Lord
                                     by Shirley Rebstock

Search our heart Lord above
For anger, lack of forgiveness, and love
Even at you my God who can allow this day
Bad luck, sickness, cruelty to come our way

Search our heart Lord above
Can we learn to forgive and love
Even our parents we hate to say
Not always wise , strong, perfect as we needed along life's way

Search our heart Lord above
Can we learn to forgive and love	
Imperfect people who have let us down
Even ourselves, as there are no perfect people around

Search our heart Lord above
Can we learn to forgive and love
Seventy-seven times seven, our Lord did claim
Forgive and love was Jesus life, help us learn to be the same

What greater gift could our Lord have given than His life
Our sins forgiven out of God's love and Jesus's strife
Search our heart Lord above
Can we learn to forgive and love

Search my heart but don't read my mind in traffic :) A beautiful write that sounds more like worship to me. And I'm blessed to read it. A 7 from me. God Bless. Ed

I hear you. Mine either, but we are human and I know I sure am not perfect. I guess I cannot expect other drivers to be perfect either, but they should be, in my opinion.
