"Use Me Lord!"

[Angel]

The other day when talking to someone in the chat room, (he will know who he is! lol) :) they mentioned these words and I couldn't get them out of my mind so from that this poem developed.

USE ME LORD

Every hour, every minute, every second of the day

O Lord I am your vessel, please use me in some way

A way that will bring honour and glory unto you

I’m know there is a plan that you want me to pursue

I might need a kick start, oh Lord please hear this plea

‘Cause sometimes I am lazy and don’t really want to see

The important things that you have planned for my walk in life

Remind me of those once again when I’m getting into strife

Help me to stop, take a breath and count to ten

Before I think, “Oh no, here we go, no not again!”

You’ll have to excuse the impatience that I feel

When things go wrong and suddenly You just seem so surreal

It’s hard to remember that you’re there my Father God

When I’m really doing it tough and have started just to plod

Thinking I am all alone in this big big world today

And forgetting Your my Father and I really ought to pray

To You, cause You love me so much more than life itself

I don’t need worldly treasures when in You I have such wealth

God You’re there for eternity, prepare me for that time,

When my life on earth is over, You will look and say “You’re mine!”

I need to share the Gospel just as Christ has asked me to

So when my life on earth has passed, eternity I’ll spend with You

Thats beautiful man! im new here, my names Kimbra and i thought i'd post u a poem too since u seem to be into poetry!

Trivial Passtimes

How productive i find
trivial hobbies

Passing the time
only to make it up at night

Pitter patter round the house
merry as a cowbell

Silence.

How i loathe to be bathed in such
utter peace

A peace that brings even you to the boil

Exposing my rough outlines, and unfinished edges
I never was too artistic

I sometimes hear a calm existence
never out to expose my fears
only to grant me mercy

But only when God is near.

Hope u had a great new years!

Important things first - Welcome to Christian Chat Forum Kimbra and I hope that you will stay with us and find what you are looking for here in this Christian environment. ;)

I think I get what you are saying in this poem Kimbra. Sometimes in the silence we can just feel like busting out when we have been cooped up too long and want to seek out company while we are away from God then at other times we have that serenity that comes from the knowledge that God is there in that silence with us. Don't foget that God is always near but it is we who stray away from Him at times. Thank you for your poem! :)
