Take A Look At My Heart

Take a look at my heart Dear God
You are welcome to come inside.
Look around in it please
And cast out all fear or pride.
Father, It is my prayer, my plea,
that you would be Lord over me.
And please cast far away
Anything that should not stay.
Take a look at my heart Dearest Lord
And let me be true to your word.
Search it all over; cleanse it of all that is wrong.
For I want nothing that doesn't belong.
Take a look at my heart Father God
For I want to make it today
A place where you feel at home
So cast out, all the fear and the doubt
And feel free to make it thine own.
Thena Smith (1982)

Amen to that! Beautiful way of putting the words that Christians often long to utter.
