Song of the Heart

Cheering me sweetly for a wondrous start Propelling pursuits with moments gracious The Lord along instilled hymn of the heart Keeps assuring me His love, indeed precious. My soul praises Christ Who makes me rejoice In His constant compassion’s freedom-flow “I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice…” Keeps reverberating with mercy’s glow. Blest by God’s wondrous pardon assurance “And it told Thy love to me” verily I abide in His will’s peace endurance Revived always to serve Him willingly. Enjoying sweet relationship with God “I long to rise in the arms of faith” now Yearning for His presence and shepherd rod Blissfully fulfilling my service-vow. Beseeching for triumphant stewardship While molded toward Christ-like behavior I pray during worship and fellowship To “…be closer drawn to Thee,” my Saviour. Grateful for divine song*, so inspiring Secured heart of mine finds peace in God’s breast With spirit fervently persevering For best eternal ministerial rest. Indeed, “I am Thine, O Lord” uplifts me Amidst message bringing sublime delight Penned by hymn writer, Fanny J. Crosby Who always expressed God’s great loving might.

Well, what two lines you wrote here. I am here to ask you, do you believe in the HOLY God, Jesus Christ, he is the only deity that we should be relying on and looking forward to meet when this life he has given us is o'er. There are other deities, I agree, and those are considered idols or other gods that many idolize. Maybe expand on this poem more, develop it more.

Wow, you said a lot in this piece. So much of this is what is happening in our world today. So many are not believing in Christ or the message of His truth, enjoyed reading this. Follow me, I write Christian poetry as well.
