Lord, you know my heart and soul, <br />That you are my passionate goal; <br />Show me how to serve you <br />Even though I don't deserve you- <br />Permit not evil to take its' toll. <br /> <br />Lord, you know me far more than I do, <br />And every morning you make me new; <br />Show me how to rightly love you - <br />Protect me from evil acts and desires; <br />O, Lord, to you my very soul aspires. <br /> <br />I dream of you, Lord, night and day; <br />Your holy and sacred heart hold me sway - <br />For intimate communion with you I pray. <br />O keep me faithful and keep me true; <br />Blessed Lord Jesus I love and Praise you. <br /> <br />I long for Heaven and all things above <br />Pondering being encapsulated <br />in your everlasting love. <br />Bring me to the Cross upon my knees; <br />It is you I ever want to please. <br />Route out all that is not pure, <br />I beg my soul you will cure, <br />So one day I will sinless be <br />Finally to dwell in Heaven with Thee. <br />Thank you for the joy that awaits me. <br />I love you, Lord, for eternity.<br /><br />Carmela Patterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/longing-for-you-lord/
