The Distilled Heart

Each morning I wake

Time in Your presence I will make.

 

You are already there,

Waiting to talk with this heir.

 

The glow draws me near,

Your warmth distills my fears.

 

Your arms surround me,

In You I find safety.

 

Praising Your Name my heart begins to generate,

A soft tenderness causing worries to evaporate.

 

My King, Savior, Redeemer and Creator,

God, I AM, You alone are Greater.

 

I bow before you my Builder,

It is time to begin the filter.

 

My sin you magnify,

So my heart you can purify.

 

Forgiveness sent from above,

Faithfully, You fill me with your love.

 

You reached Your hand down, my worries it extracts

My eyes look up, Lord, keep me from being distracted.

 

Reading Your Word helps me align,

Teaching my heart to be continually refined.

 

Thank you Father, for Your faithfulness to pursue;

And make this heart daily renewed.

 

Infuse me with Your power,

So this day I will not cower.

 

But serve You, faithful Lord;

Standing tall with You, in one Accord.

 

 

Today, I go forward with a distilled heart.

May Thy Word never depart.

 

Your amour I adorn,

May the enemy be forewarned.

 

You are my shield, Most High,

Enthroned above, may You be glorified.
