I NEED THEE

Poems are great. I never really liked to read poems untill a few years ago. I haven't read to many for awhile but I would like to read more and write more. I feel that writing poems is a great way to put in to words what flows from ones heart. I decided to share(if anyone reads this blog, ha) one of the poems I have written about a year ago.

I NEED THEE

Lost and alone gone far away;
Why did I choose to go astray?
The dark inside has come again;
The sins I left haunt me again;

What kind of soul is one like me?
The fruit I ate came from that tree;
The tree that you forbid me taste;
Yet I have ate and come to waste;

My soul is torn and broke apart;
I sigh and feel heavy of heart;
My tears of shame flow from my eye;
I feel as if my life’s a lie;

I find that death has come to me;
Yet in my blood you made me see;
When by your Call told me to Live!
True Joy is found to only give;
My soul, my heart, my everything;
To live for you the one true King;

Oh Lord’ draw me forevermore;
To come to that celestial shore;
Keep me O’ Lord from falling away;
So prone to wonder, to go astray;

I need thee Lord in every part;
I need thee Lord transform my heart;
I need thee Lord when all is through;
I need thee Lord you’ve made me new!

Adequate being Inadequate

Have you ever felt inadequate at what your doing? There are many people who take great pride in their attributes as to boast in their strength and skills. However, should we not realize that we are inadequate in all things. We are weak but God is strong. In our own strength we will surely fall. We must see ourselves as empty,weak,and needful people. I must be reminded that I can do nothing but by the grace of God.

Do you feel inadequate? In inadequacy through faith in Christ, Believers can rest in God's sovereign power working within them. Continually look to Christ who is supreme above all else, for when we look to ourselves despair inevitably follows. "Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God..."
2 Cor 3:5 (NASB)
