to God be the Glory ~
By Deborah Ann
Lord, search my heart,
from the inside out
tell me where You find
places of fear and doubt.
See if You see in me,
any remaining skepticism
put into my mind
by religious dogmatism.
Lord, pull in the reins,
of my heart today
harness them to follow
Your righteous ways.
Yank hard if You must,
so closer to You I’ll turn
jerk ’em if You have to
so in hell I’ll not burn.
Lord, check the fruit,
for You I am bearing
if any be found rotting . . .
be quick with Your paring.
Make sure all my doings,
are being done for You
oh, Lord examine my heart
till for You it proves true!
~~~~~~
I the Lord search the heart,
I try the reins, even to give
every man according to his ways,
and according to the fruit
of his doings.â€
