I need the Lord’s transforming power, every day and every hour, <br />That in my heart He will shower, abundantly His changing power, <br />For when my heart goes astray, I need His power along the way, <br />To stay the path ordered for me, a changed heart, for all to see. <br /> <br />I know my friend, that I am saved, but my heart is still depraved, <br />That old man is fighting within, tempting me, always towards sin, <br />To spout off, in my older ways, just like I walked in former days, <br />The ways I need to leave behind, while God transforms my mind. <br /> <br />While this battle inside me rages, carnal thoughts are the wages, <br />When I give into the fleshly urges, an action or comment surges, <br />One which is not honoring to, The One, Who saved me and you, <br />This, as I fall back into old ways, influenced by my former days. <br /> <br />Days that I knew not The Lord, when righteousness was ignored, <br />My former life when I knew not Him, I lived my life in flagrant sin, <br />But behind me they all must stay, as I walk on life’s Narrow Way, <br />By God’s Power, in my life, to live for the honor of Jesus Christ. <br /> <br />I’m here to be a witness friend, so I must allow The Lord to rend, <br />These old ways from my behavior, to be that light for my Savior, <br />As Christ purges me of all dross, this by the power of the Cross, <br />Continually transforming my life, all for the honor of Jesus Christ. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©09/2013)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/transforming-me/
