O, long would I have stayed in secret sin, Except the Lord whose Hand did lock me in. With various ways, He teaches me to look Not outwardly, but very deep within. No, not to find a righteous seed within, But see that cherished sin still buried there. That sin, to chase the carnal worldly […]

Upon timely reminder to restrain. O Lord, let me not take a step before, When Thou didst not at all signal to go, For I shall sin, in thinking I do lead, When Thou, my Captain, ought to go before. Nor – woe is me! – put forth my lust before, And follow suit, thus […]
O Lord, though all the world convene and do agree with me, If I am wrong indeed, through Word and Spirit speak now to me. Make me to see the masses’ stand makes not a wrong a right; A righteous stand, if held by solely one, is ne’er a blight. When I do see such […]
Through trials, O God, Thou mouldest me as clay, Each step I take through day by passing day. Thy hand doth lay its stroke both strong and loose That I may better fit Thy purposed use. Each moulding has intention laid within, To purge me from my open, hidden sins, To shape within a closer […]

O Lord, who searches all our hidden thoughts, The God whose fiery eyes do see all things, Help me discern the path that lies ahead, When ‘fore my eyes are many troubling things. When once I thought the fault in others lay, Yet Thou didst show my heart was mired in sin. When I, repenting, […]
In midst of toil without and strife within, I did yearn rest and peace, and faltered then. If it were only toil, then I would work – But fears and burdens in my mind did stand. What troubling thoughts of trials ahead came in! Of thoughts of care of all my days ahead. In seeking […]
The very ones who do profess Thy Name Declare Thy everlasting Word has faults. The very ones who helm the leadership Do mock, and say, “The Word, the truth tis’ not.” For how they subtly speak such blasphemies, That Bible history are all but myths, And place their feeble minds above Thy Word, And twist […]
Remove the hardened sin of pride within, Which hopes for fading earthly glory vain, And reinstate, my Lord, a heart of love, To serve beneath the men who love Thy Name. My foolish dreams now dashed to countless shards – O God, now mould my thoughts to selfless be, To humbly serve the ones whom […]
