EYES OF MY HEART

EYES OF MY HEART
By: Tyararr J. Jones
Help me Lord to see the things that I should surely see,
The wonders of your Word and not selfishly on me.
Uncover the sin and doubt that mar the window of my heart,
Remove the passions of my soul that are within tearing me apart.
Renew the filter of my eyes, my mind so vast but weak,
May my cravings be pure for the things that I seek.
My eyes are daily tempted by facades created by man,
Keep me close to thee, a follower of your plan.
Be thou my guide, the Creator of my vision,
Stable in all my ways, uncompromised by division.
Lord, take the reins of my heart that I might humbly be,
A vessel that is pure and sanctified to thee.

This is a great "End-of-" or "Beginning-of-the Year" poem. I'm going to use it in tomorrow night's message (on thankfulness & sanctification).

Thank you. I have a 17 year old "prodigal" son to whom I sent your poem. It speaks directly to the child becoming the man. Perhaps opening the eyes of our hearts is the event that creates an adult.
