I hate explanations
Hey guys,
this poem is really my heart sending a prayer to God. College is taking me across the country, and things are hard enough as it is. It was a hard decision, but in the end, we both agreed it was best for our friendship. He was considered an amazing blessing and continues to be as much a blessing as a friend. Thank you.
I just now pray that God will answer this prayer....
I come to the altar with no Isaac to bring,
Just the desire to be loved and the hope for a ring
I've waited, I've worried, and I have failed to trust,
So take from me this desire and teach me as you must
All alone before you, my heart I spill
With laughter and tears, this empty vessel fill
I am looking Lord no longer for a man
Bt now to You and what You have planned
I am gifted and growing and I want to serve You
Just show me where to go and who to serve as I seek to follow through
And if alone You want me for years to come
Isolate and teach me what is to be done
I cant fight You any longer, I am too weak
I am done with fool's gold, and real treasure I seek
I want You, oh Lord, to put a twinkle in my eye,
I want You to be my focus and not any other guy
But even as I say this, part of me holds back
Help me to see that singleness is a blessing not an attack
Lord help me not to feel worthless, unblessed and alone
Help me to throw my cares at the foot of Your throne
As You want me to wait, Lord please put a hold on my heart
Help me not to give it away to someone who'll tear it apart
As I lay my desire down at Your feet
Help me to be honest and my promise to keep
Help me in loneliness to focus on the cross
And when I feel left out, help me count it as loss
I don't want to struggle; I am too tired to fight
Help me to keep on doing what is right
Remove from me this jealousy and replace it with joy
Fill my thoughts with You oh Lord instead of a boy
On the altar of sacrifice I place my desire
And I ask, Lord, right now that You'll burn it with fire
Please accept it, Oh Lord, for its all I have to give
Help me to let go of this bondage and truly live
Take all of me Lord, even when I'm opposed
Help me to trust in You, the One who always knows
On my knees I fall with tears on my face
And I ask Lord, only that You'll meet me in this place
Altars are for bloodshed so, Lord, here's my heart
Take it from me now, and grant me a new start
