I found this today, while rummaging through old papers, I read this poem and said yes Lord, this is my heart too.
Lord, do what's necessary to renew my mind,
I don't want to be one of the stagnant kind.
But stable in you, Lord, I just have to be;
Because it was you who set my spirit free.
You are the only one who keeps my heart and mind pure;
And in your grace, Lord, I must grow and remain mature.
Everything that I have, Lord, you sent my way;
I must go on, and not return to yesterday.
Lord, you paid the price, and I belong to you;
As your child, I must always to you be true.
Lord, help me not to make idols of men;
And please keep my feet from the path of sin.
To give you the perfect praise is what I love to do
So that there may be less of me, Lord, and more of you.
