What Can I Give You? Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

What Can I Give You?



From the very start,
what more can I give
unto you, but my
sinful heart?

What more can I do than
come unto you 'just as I am? '
Once upon a time, I chose
freely to follow your heavenly
star of Bethlehem. Once
I was listed as among
your chosen children.

How did I get so far away from you?
By willfully frequently submitting
to Satan's sinful sins.
Satan is cursed with a perverse
mind, and has been contaminating
my mind.

The soul that sins will die.
It is not worth forfeiting
my heavenly home on high.
It is not worth being ashamed
before the Son of Man!

'Create in me a clean heart
and renew a right spirit within
me. Cast me not away from your
presence and take not your holy spirit
from me. Restore to me the joy of
my salvation. And uphold me with
your free spirit.'

As I reach out to touch the hem
of your garment today, please
do not cast me away. As I
seek security under the shelter
of your wings- heal me from
perverse thoughts and dreams.

What more can I give unto
you from the very start?
Once more I freely surrender
unto you, LORD Jesus Christ:
my life, my soul, and spirit,
and my entire sinful heart.

For by grace have I been saved,
not by works least I have a reason
to boast. I will be unfortunately be
judged by my: thoughts, words, and deeds.

Dear Lord I humbly pray let me
not face justifiable sin and
disgrace on that memorable
judgment day!

What more can I give you?
All I can say is that
really honestly do,
LORD Jesus Christ,
LOVE YOU!
