REIGN IN ME

REIGN IN ME
By: Tyararr J. Jones
O the conflict from within for the throne that dwells my heart,
The constant beckoning from the world seeking to draw me apart.
Whom shall I serve today is the question I daily ask,
O the distractions of this journey that seek to sway me from my task.
Many lusts of the world that confront me in disguise,
Throwing doubt at my mind and temptation before my eyes.
Many seekers of my throne, but only one King I pursue,
He is the Creator of my soul and the observer of what I do.
The reins of my life have shifted through many hands,
Times of disobedience when I neglected God's commands.
May I press on with diligence through this race I must daily run,
Focused on my Savior Jesus Christ the Son.

THE MAN THAT I AM

THE MAN THAT I AM
By: Tyararr J. Jones
I am weak, at times weary, at times I stumble... God sustains me!
I am not invincible, my confidence is not my own...God is my strength!
My wisdom is not my own, my choices are sometimes foolish... God is my wisdom!
Defeat has not been far from me though victory binds me... God meets me where I kneel!
Tears hide behind facade, joy peeks through smile... God reveals the real me!
My path at times unclear, shall I go on, patience beckons me... God is my Guide!
Contentment shadows me from a distance, its cloud at times seems far...God fill me!!
I pretend not to be something I am not, judge not... God is my standard, not you!
My needs coverse with my desires and wants... God shall supply all my needs!
Peace rewards me, quietness welcomes me... God completes me!
My thoughts keep you at a distance, my heart is safely at bay... God guards my heart!
My hope and expectation is not in temporary sustenance... God grace is sufficient!
Do you know me? Do you accept the man that I am? ... God made me!
Life is not mine to control, I am eternally driven... God mold me!
A work in progress, passionate, persistent, patient... God make thine will mine.
