Wendell Brown Poet Prose

What You Desire Me To Be

I open my heart to 
your generous love
for I want this day
so much to be

A much better person 
then the image Lord
which is alive in the
the mirror I daily see

I open my soul to You
dear Lord, hoping one
day to come to see

Your spirit of grace
falling down on my
soul, shaping me to
be what you desire me
to be

For you have chosen me
from my beginning days
when I was given life 
in my mother's womb

And my eyes and spirit
seek deeply Lord how
your blessings ahead
will dress me soon

You are the only one I
seek to praise with each
precious word my heart
daily brings to life...

For since the first breaths
my lungs embraced, serving
you alone lord is my life's
dearest delight.


(1971)
