Purify my heart from all that hinders whole-hearted love for You
All I am and have abandoned to You, for You
Save me from sin and selfishness
Sick of compromise and lukewarmness
I want to live a wholly yielded, holy life
Only You really satisfy
No one else, nothing else, but you
Forgive me for yielding to self rather than Spirit
One Lord, One Master, You alone
Rule my mind, my heart, me
Jesus, help me to be the lover You deserve
Equally yoked with You, my Bridegroom
Set apart as Yours alone
Unhindered in devotion to You
Solely, wholly, holy Yours
Still following,
Elizabeth

beautiful photo and poetry!
ReplyDeleteOh my dear friend, this is totally incredible--you gently preached several sermons of love and truth in one short passionate prayer poem--and the photograph just sets it off beautifully--makes me think of the "think on these things verse"--this post is a work of art--
ReplyDeletealways loving you--so sorry I haven't been very visible lately--
