The longing
The yearning
The desire
How have I done?
What will You say?
How will my judgment go?
Long awaited, anticipated
Bringing up past deeds
Some covered, some exposed
The need to please not always present in my life
The hurts, the wrongs,
long forgotten by me
disdain or unforgiveness
I have cast on others
Redemption has been claimed
but still, You asked for my best, did I?
There is still time
Cleanse me Lord
and open my heart
so it can be used
as a vessel for your love
of forgiveness and kindness
Let me cherish your word
and use my talents
as You have given them to me
Let me relish in Your love
and draw from Your strength
so I may honor you with my every breath
Hear my plea God above
for one day
we will meet face to face
and I hope it to be
a happy day for You
