Dear Lord I have a problem

 

 

DEAR LORD I HAVE A PROBLEM

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Dear Lord, I have a problem and I want to be part of the solution,

I long to see so many people falling truly in love with you in this generation,

You have set a fire within my heart, luke warmness won’t cut it any more,

I’m falling more in love with my Jesus and I long for people to know the one I adore.

 

 You have captured my heart and I am wrecked for anything else,

For you I must live I can no longer live for self, you must increase,

I know you have birthed a passion deep within me for the lost and the hurting,

But Lord I want to help in part to awaken your people who are sleeping.

 

 This passion is taking hold of me and ripping me so completely apart,

I don’t know the why’s and how’s of how to do what you would have me do,

But I know that you hold the future and will help me to make a start,

So through prayer and supplication I come fully ready to be used of you.

 

 You are so precious to me Lord and I want to know you more and more,

So consume every part of my being, right to it’s very core,

Lord you have always been faithful to me down through the years,

You have carried me through times of blessing and through tears.

 

 And I confess that I have so often taken my eyes off of you,

But I know without a shadow of doubt that you carried me through,

And you brought me back to the foot of the cross that I might see,

That without you in my life Lord Jesus, just where would I be?

 

 So hear I am humbly begging your forgiveness my dear Saviour,

And asking you this day to begin raising me up as a true warrior,

Who will play a part in heralding in your Kingdom on this earth,

For a fiery, loving passion for you in me you have birthed.

 

 So Lord I ask you to help me, to express in poetry and other ways,

Just how wonderful and beautiful you are to me this day,

That, others might behold something of the beauty of your countenance,

And they might come hungry and thirsty to behold your radiance.

 

 For I love you Lord and I want the world to know it’s all about you,

We were born with a purpose, a relationship with you to pursue,

And that means more than saying a quick dutiful prayer at the end of the day,

You have called us to be lovers of you walking with you along the way.

 

 For you are the bridegroom who beckons his bride to come as lovers,

And for those yet to come you are beckoning them come hither,

Because you first loved us, giving your life for us that we might be saved,

For your desire is for people to really know they are loved.
