Purify me, my God.
My life is an open book before you.
Wash me more and more
every night and day.
I cannot hide my sins from you.
Touch and purify my heart.
My offering today shall be
my contrite heart.
You will not cast away a contrite heart.
Do not turn away your face from me.
Wash me in your mercy
and take me to you.
I want to be in your presence
at dawn and dusk.
I like to sit before you
and muse about your wonders.
I delight in your plans for me.
Unawares you come to me to plan for me.
When I know of it
my heart is full of joy.
Who am I God, that you think of me?
I know when I cannot pray in words,
God hears my heart.
I wish you to see His holy face! in this life! Is it possible here?
I delight in your plans for me. Unawares you come to me to plan for me. When I know of it my heart is full of joy. Who am I God, that you think of me? this is a very simple poem and it conveys in simple terms a relationship with the Almighty. thank you
I know when I cannot pray in words, God hears my heart. these are the most true lines of a human mind who prays. really, we cannot always pray in words, but almighty is always there to listen to our hearts. such a heart felt spiritual poem. it soothed my heart. loved it. many thanks.
'My offering today shall be my contrite heart.' This is all God wants. A beautiful delightful poem.
Just fantastic. Yes it is a simple prayer, yet so powerful that He can hear you. Asking Him to wash and wash away to take the sins away. We all make mistakes and a few are honest to show the world they have committed a mistake is the highest quality of a good human being.I'm touched by the last lines. this has happened to me often. Sharing with you: I have a long list prepared in my mind to ask Him. But when i stand before Him, His glory just brings tears to my eye. Tears of happiness. And no words come to my mind. I know when I cannot pray in words. God hears my heart. I am humbled.
Dear Roop, i was also in tears when i read your comment now. God bless you always Roop
