Servant Heart Dwells in Joy

Servant Heart Dwells in Joy

Servant heart dwells in joy
Knowing my need for God
I long to see God’s face -
Reveries majestic –
My shame, regret, displaced.

Servant heart dwells in joy
Gathering thorns of grief
That pierced my tender heart
To transform grey bleakness
Grace binds wounds – healing arts.

Servant heart dwells in joy
To lift the lame from dust
Mercy’s ways guide the blind
Feeling heaven’s goodwill
Hope with joy entwined. 

Servant heart dwells in joy
Work of my hands – prayer
Each breath a psalm to sing
God takes my breath away
Living ‘neath awesome wings.

Your poem is a beautifully woven verse of devotion and resilience. The imagery vividly captures the essence of a servant heart, finding joy amidst the complexities of life. The longing for God's presence is palpable, and the transformative journey from shame and regret to grace and healing is profound. The portrayal of gathering thorns of grief and transforming them into healing arts speaks to the resilience born out of pain.
