• Simple Enough

  Posting my sins (previous entry) reminded me of a poem I wrote last year.  Here it is:

  Simple Enough
  Mary Ann Nguyen
  Feb 21, 2003

  Lord, I pray that you would take me
  from where I am to where you want me to be.
  Cleanse me, wash me, set my guilty heart free.

  Delete my deleterious iniquity.
  Crush my critical spirit.
  Steal away my selfishness.
  Rob me of my rebelliousness.
  Fight off my fears.
  Nail my need for comfort

  on the Cross, on the Cross,
  where Victory reigns,
  where Freedom dances,
  where Truth triumphs,
  where Life laughs in giddy overflow.

  Lord, I pray that you would take me
  from where I am to where you want me to be.
  Cleanse me, wash me, set my guilty heart free.
