Awaken me each morning with the showers of your unfailing love Lord <br />Drown my spirit with your presence as your breath fills my lungs <br />By your allowance <br />Functions are able to take place within your servant's body <br />No longer am I the young woman lost in a whirlwind of illusions <br />Choosing to toss her pearls to swines <br />No longer do i entertain senseless conversations over cheap wine <br />Or listen to mulniputive conpliments and waist not my time <br />But your time Lord <br />Jepardizing a life intended for nobility not Strife <br />No longer am i taking steps that further me away from Christ <br />Attempting to flip the pages of my life <br />For I know <br />A wayward woman lost in sin is like commiting suicide with death's knife <br />We have become lost in a maze full of shattered glass <br />broken images of hopes and dreams <br />All have become destoted by darkness <br />The same darkness you mat consider as light <br />Empty practices smile at the polluted minds it has devoured <br />Her grin is sinister as she watches us expel this curse upon our Sons <br />And daughters <br />Sip the living water or be greeted by <br />Death <br />By Shannon Hogan<br /><br />Shannon Hogan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thoughts-kept-hidden-within-my-heart/
