TAKE "ME" OUT OF THE PICTURE:

How can we say we worship you,

When we’re too busy putting SELF on your throne,

When we refuse to step out of our comfort zone,

And believe we can do it on our own?

How can we proclaim you Sovereign,

And declare you Lord of all,

When we hold back in certain areas,

Knowing you’re LORD OF ALL, or not at all?

Why do we think we’re an island,

Meant to walk through life alone,

Why do we refuse to submitt,

And place JESUS on the throne?

It is because of "SELF" -

We always get in your way ,

Setting ourselves up for a fall,

Simply because we will not obey.

Lord, take "ME" out of the picture,

So that others can see you...

REMOVE ‘my goals for me’,

So that your will would come true.

I cannot do it on my own,

I’m simply too full of sin;

So I ask, dear precious Savior -

That daily, you would cleanse me from within.

inspiration for this poem: Venting... and self declaration that again, I am unworthy, and in fact incapable of achieving the godliness that God requires of me, unless GOD completely fills me (and therefor HE has to get rid of whatever is in me unlike him) At this point in time, I really feel as if I'm beating my head of a brick wall ....
