Create a new heart in me Lord, So close to you I'll stay. Give me strength to meet my trials, When I am prone to stray. With understanding guard my heart, And each and every thought. Keep me from things that displease you, And do the things I ought. Give me each day what you deem best, Whether it's pain or pleasure. I can make the day with your strength, Your love beyond measure. When day is gone and night is here, And I do search my heart. I want to know I've done my best, From you I will not part. You are the strength of my heart, Lord, And so hard I will try. That I may be worthy to serve you, In my life your word apply. © Southbreeze Used with permission Please honor author's copyrights and seek permission first before using this poem in any way.
