Focused on You, may my thoughts ever be
Entangled with yours, clear my eyes, help me see …
Glimpses of grace, fragments of home
Reminders to me that I’m not alone,
In fighting this fight, in conquering sin
So present, so real, so embedded within …
This world where I live that turns a deaf ear
To what’s noble, what’s right, what’s true, and what’s clear,
In your Word, from your lips
On the cross, beyond the grave.
I am free from the curse
I’m no longer a slave,
To my past, to my fears
To mistakes in younger years.
You were there, you are here
You are present, you are near.
To lend your power
To perfect in me
All that’s not holy
All I’ve yet to fully be.
So fix my eyes, Lord, fix my heart,
Fix my thoughts, all on Thee
Walk me forward, walk me home
To the place I long to be.
Next to you
Hand in hand
Heart to heart
You’re where I will stand.
Even now
Even then
Even always,
Amen.

Beautiful….. So thankful that our God is a God of relationship!
Your prayer poem is beautiful…I was captivated by the first stanza and especially loved this portion – ” Glimpses of grace, fragments of home
Reminders to me that I’m not alone..”
Love this, Elaine – “Walk me forward, walk me home . . . Next to you, hand in hand . . .” So very thankful He walks with us and never lets us go!
THIS>>>> Walk me forward, walk me home
To the place I long to be.
Next to you
Hand in hand
Heart to heart
You’re where I will stand.
Well, it nearly made me cry. I’m weary of this sin-stained world, and eager for a glimpse of Jesus face. Come, Lord Jesus. Come.
