| My Wall
Oh, Lord it began so slowly The ruin of my wall With first a crack of doubt A lose brick of fear, And then it began to fall.
Further neglect of God’s Word- No time to say a prayer, Nourished all the weeds That replaced the flowers there.
The Holy Spirit tried to tell me The enemy had free access He tried to make me listen But without much success.
Lack of discipline Didn’t really seem like such a crime I’d like to study God’s Word— If I could find the time.
Procrastination seemed to be A small chink in my wall. But pretty soon the hole was large It didn’t look so small.
Oh, Lord help me rebuild my wall Help me choose each brick To make this wall a lasting one-- Please make the mortar thick.’
Give me such a love for your Word Such a thirsting in my heart, That I will be able to persevere And show me where to start.
Thank you Lord for showing me Before it was too late, I want to start rebuilding now- I don’t want to wait.

| My favorite part was: "Oh, Lord it began so slowly The ruin of my wall With first a crack of doubt A lose brick of fear, And then it began to fall.

| Great writing and another great message. I think we all struggle with this from time to time. Great prayer to pray:
Oh, Lord help me rebuild my wall Help me choose each brick To make this wall a lasting one-- Please make the mortar thick.’ |
