I Am The Man That I Am And The Sum Of All My Days Poem by Royston Allen

I am the man that I am and the sum of all my days
but I desire to be the man that God wants me to be.
God is still working in my life and is changing my ways
and like a potter moulding clay He's transforming me.

This man of flesh is being changed to be more like his Lord
for God reaching down from heaven to this man on earth
and is breathing His Spirit in me through His Living Word
Giving me with the kiss of life and the gift of new birth.

A new creation has begun in me through God's dear Son.
Blessed Spirit complete the work I will not hinder You.
Make me like Jesus and finish the work You have begun
for I want to be like Him and do what He wants me to.

Keep changing me into the man that you have me to be
that I may walk as Enoch walked and love and care like you.
I know not how much time is left upon this earth for me
but what I have I wish to spend doing the things You do.

Your mercy You have shown to me by the things you have done
and I praise You for Your love during these difficult days.
True repentance I have shown and Your healing has begun
in this wretched worldly man by an awesome God of grace.
