I Need Thee (Poem)
|
Posted By: Kyle Shedrick on July 05, 2005 I need thee, Oh I need thee Every hour, I need thee, Oh Bless me now my savior, I come to thee As humbly as I know how Eyes closed head bowed Doesn't matter whether I'm Saying it softly or professing A loud Just how much I need you And I knew that giving My life to you so long ago Was the right thing to do. Didn't have to think twice About it wasn't no math- Matical equation, going to Church and reading my Bible was my own persuasion And now, in an act of adoration I without hesitation Through song & pen Give you laudation 'Cause you are my Inspiration To be more like you Grateful for how you Of the old man You slew And in me, created A new Man, and I can is my Motto because I know through You, your strength enables me Anything to do. So I pray that you keep my mind directed and focused And not stray to goblins and witches that conjures up the hocus pocus Realizing that everybody doesn't Want to see me prosper I love them anyway because on Judgment Day, I plan to be on your final roster. But it's hard sometimes, doing the right thing When all around you, people are doing their own. Best believe, there are somethings I want to do, But if I do I know Your light wont shine through There are some places I want to go and some people I want to see but I go I know that there Your presence Wont be so I try to stay away and living To see another day there sometimes overwhelms in me The urge to spit out some sentences I shouldn't say. But That's when I read into Your Word and behold that blessings And curses can't from one mouth flow. On a daily basis, the enemy goes and the enemy comes But I keep my faith in You and know my victory has Already been won. This cross isn't always an easy cross to bear; but I promised You I'd take it through the sunshine and Even when the weather's not fair. So, you see, this is my prayer, this is my Cry, this is my plea—I need Thee Oh, I need thee. If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |

It is unexplainable how the strength of God can keep us on the straight and narrow. You believe in him and he will believe in you. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. Stay blessed and keep writting. Shonda Tuesday, July 5th 2005 at 3:36PM |
