Oh my God, My heart (is) yearns to be more pure,

I want to open the doors more and feel that you are near.

Its because of You lord Im in your loving state,

From the day you met me, on your divine date.

Oh Lord, soften my heart even more,

So that the seeds you plant in me will grow for sure.

And not just grow in me and bear fruits in me,

But also sow your seeds to the seedless around me.

I enter into your presence with thanksgiving my Lord,

Youre grace has given me another chance to bow down to you my Lord.

When earthly things fill my head,

You are there, just as You said,

Fear not, and submit it all,

And be sure I’ll catch you if you (ever) fall.

Lord use me completely to bring you glory,

By You’re miracles everyday, a different story,

In your abundant love for me,

Today I understand that You cast yourself away into stormy seas,

Just so that you could see me swim back to You Lord with so much ease.

My heart Oh God feels blank as a white paper sheet,
And I know its only You who made me achieve this feat.
You put in me a new heart of gold,
And broke into my old one, that was so hard and old.
By Youre might and Grace, You rejuvenated me,
And threw my old self out of me.
My new heart now Lord thirsts only for you,
I don't care about these worldly things, which just ain't true.

God I cant thank You enough for what You've done for me,
For the dream of confirmation you wanted me to see.
For how You rebuked me in love when Your time came,
Just to show me that your uncontainable love for me remained the same.

In all my earthly wisdom, I really couldnt see,
How much Lord I was bruising thee.
How much You told me Lord, yet You loved me more,
Even though I'm sure I would have made you sore.

But today Lord I stand free in thee,
Freedom that came by You and not by the strength in me.
I want You more and Lord, thats all I ask,
Lord prepare me more to do your divine task. 
But I know that this is just the beginning for me,
And know that You have so much more in store for me.
Whatever it is I know your always there beside me,
Ready to pick me up in battle, even if the enemy bruises me.

Lord Jesus, this is my simple song of praise,
You lifted me out of so much failure and disgrace.
By your captivity I was completely set free,
And its by Your grace that now Lord, Im praising thee.

You ransomed me Lord from every sin,
By your complete sacrifice and all within.
You died for me, when I was still unborn,
You chose me Lord, by you're love I'm adorned.  

You lead me through paths unknown,
And said, "Fear not" making all things known.
In my deepest trials, You were there to carry me,
I still stand in aww of How you rescued me.

When darkness tried its level best,
There You were, putting me at rest,
In all good things, I could only see You,
You Lord who are powerful and mighty, yet so true.

Lord You look into my deepest desire,
I Praise You Lord, You set my soul on fire,
I want to love you more with all my heart,
And say I'm greedy for you Lord, how precious though art.

The poem below just came to me one night, while I was praying... Hence I really haven't titled it yet...:) I just wanted to share it with everyone...

I started this day with an emptiness of just waking up,

But at the end of this very same day, I feel jus so filled up.

I jus cant stop smiling now, 

My mind searches for reasons to answer why or how.

Lord, my father, Im captured by you’re love it seems,

Your love that reigns over my future and all my dreams.

Your love that I can never from hide,

When I know that you’re love in me resides.

I realize that I don’t think of what I pen down here.

I’m really not surprised by this , I know you are near.

The author of this poem, and the author of my life,

Let Your words pierce my heart like the most sharpest knife.

Lord I pray, and want to submit myself at your feet,

To listen to your whisper, so silent yet sweet.

I believe these words are those that can only come from You.

Its possible only by your mercy everyday, so fresh yet true.

I want to Love you Lord, with all my heart,

And with all my soul I want to praise how great thou art.

Even when I fail, God grant me mercy to praise Your Holy name,

To always remember you as a Lamb who knew no blame.

By your mercy I want this to bring praise to your name,

Clearly I remember You telling me you will help me finish the same .

But I believe this is the way You speak to me,

This is the way maybe You want me to see.

To see how much you love me more everyday,

To reach out to me and spell out words you want to say,

Whatever it is, let it be your special way,

God I Pray, I want your holy spirit to have your way.

To the Night

Here I am, it’s just me here,

I’m completely sane, there’s nothing to fear.

Artists are singing here, as if they’re standing right beside me,

But looking around there’s but no one I see.

It’s now my favorite part of the day,

When dark blankets all but the room I stay.

When all the world lay fast asleep and silence reigns over the deep,

Inspiration gushes into me from all around,

To unlock something new my mind has found.

And when the music goes down real low,

The music of silence begins to flow,

To once again take its rightful place,

Beside the throne of dark to reign.

I seem to be fighting a battle this night,

Darkness is trying to take over all my room’s light,

But don’t worry I’m not giving it up without a fight,

Not till I finish what I think I should write.

 This is my masterpiece for tonight,

And let me now dedicate it to the time of day without light.

Before the night and whatever it holds conquers me to sleep,

While the world lay fast asleep and silence reigns over the deep.

The Door

That dark night when there was no cold or fog,

When one only heard the faint barks of some wild street dog,

I could see only you below, from the window in my room,

Let’s say one of the perks of not sleeping too soon.

Running down the steps excited and almost tripping,

I remember holding my robe with my heart fast beaping,

I ran for the door to welcome you in,

Nervous yet frightened that this was some big sin.

With my cheeks fast against the door, and my eye right in the hole,

I tried to get a better glimpse of what I saw sometime before.

Although small, the picture was now clear,

This was definitely not a creature to fear.

It was a young maiden at the door; promise I had never seen her before,

But her voice that described the beauty in her was just too very familiar to hear.

Knocking patiently at my door, it seemed she carried a message to deliver,

But whatever it was she wanted to say, I knew I wasn’t gonna give her way.

When I woke up next morning, the message became all too clear,

I heard the voice in me again and just froze with fear.

It was the voice of my heart I heard the previous night,

And suddenly realized what I had done was just not right.

I had completely sealed my heart’s true interests and feelings

And was running blindly behind what the entire world was doing.

To think there are so many more out there, just like me made me sore,

Who are locking their true and faithful maidens out their heart’s door.
