My Jesus (Poem #6)

Dear Jesus, Dear Jesus,
My Savior, my friend.
I come to your presence to seek as I am

my trust and my shield
you are my right hand
forever in me, I keep your commands

I come to your presence, I come seeking truth
you see through my weakness
and help me bear fruit

I rest my head steady
on you grasps my roots,
I vanish in me to bring out all of you

I come to take rest,
and refuge in you
I come to bear witness of your healings too

your power so great,
your love oh so strong
in me they shine through like a spark in the dark

glorify not me
but you every day
and keep me humble for these mighty days

"God's warrior i am"
to you I will say
"strong and aware for each blazing glare"

the night I pray loud
the day I sleep out
to break all the forces of witches here now

hold me tight
and guide my heart
so i may be useful when hardships crawl out

praises I'll sing
the stories I'll share
of how you helped seeds become mighty trees

work in me
be a light to see
and bring forth your kingdom in all of us please


Amen!!
