Purposing In Your Heart Poem by Bob Gotti

Sometimes you must stand alone, knowing you are not your own,
You must stand alone in the Light, turning from that dark of night,
Willing to surrender all your life, for the purposes of Jesus Christ,
While dark ways you must deny, to truly live for our Lord on High.

But, as you step out on your own, you indeed, won’t stand alone,
As from darkness, you turn aside, you, by God, won’t be denied,
Even when forsaken by every friend, Christ is with you to the end,
When it’s God you want to follow, Christ Himself, with you will go.

We must break from a darker past, to build a future that shall last,
Upon those Godly Truths we know, lead by God’s Spirit as we go,
Not turning back to darker ways, as we seek in Him brighter days,
Willing, those old ways to sacrifice, to live anew, for Jesus Christ.

Can we be blessed by The Lord, when Truth by us, goes ignored?
When our new life vacillates, embracing what we know God hates,
As we fellowship with those in sin, while we turn our back on Him,
Who loved us when we were lost, denying His own life on a cross.

God’s full blessing comes to us, when in The Lord alone we trust,
When we surrender to God totally, to be used in ways we will see,
Caring not about what others say, as His Truth we heed and obey,
As we purpose to forsake the night, to be for God, a shining light.
