LORD IF YOU ARE WILLING

LORD IF YOU ARE WILLING

By: Tyararr J. Jones

O Lord purge this dying vessel from the filth that is within,

As I daily battle for control on the dangerous brink of sin.

Victory's hand seems oh so fleeting as I contend for where I stand,

Longing to bend the knee as I submit to your command.

Break the chains of my will so from sin I may be restrained,

Push me toward your reflection that I in your presence may be contained.

Cleanse this wicked man from within and also from without,

That I may press forward by faith and not by clouds of doubt.

I covet the calm and peace that whispers before the pouring rain,

The refreshment and release after one has been removed from inner pain.

Help others to see I am not invincable or unemotional to the voice of sin's plan,

But I am just striving to be real and to be God's obedient man.
