My Hearts Desire
 
My Lord, I never knew that there was so much power in thoughts, oh that my mind should light the candle that no wind can put out.
Let this candle forever burn inside me for if it should go out by a dew drop from the morning sun, I would be left to wither in my own thoughts.
But let my love for you scatter to the four corners of the earth where women who were once barren let them shout for joy with the sound of laughter that fills them spilling from their mouths, surrounded by tots.
Let them dance with joy!
Let them see that it is my Lord that fulfills one’s hearts desire that it burns like a wildfire for all to see my hearts desire come to light.
Oh, that I should take flight
On the wings of time and rest where my soul is placed there with you nestled in your breast.
It is a celebrated feast
To eat the bread without yeast
To be with those that have returned back to the creator
Oh Lord, protect my mind that my thoughts should be pure and clean that honesty and truth should be the breastplate that I bare and let no yeast be found in my thoughts that grow and grow exploding inside with negative thoughts.
But let my thoughts be positive concentrated on you.
For, I know that a life without you would be to live a life of shame.
I would be dammed.
To the eternal fires
Oh, Lord, help me to be all that you want me to be that I may fulfill the desires
That you have for my life, for I know your plans are laid out in Heaven for me.
I give you my soul Jesus to keep it close to you.
I give you my thoughts that each word be filled with wisdom.
I give you my heart Lord, where I know that it is safe with you.
You already have part of me, and if you must you can have the rest of me.
Heaven is truly my destiny.
What is here on this earth to keep me?
For, I know that we all must die sooner or later and go back to Him who created us.
That life is sometimes just a breath.
Filled with the decisions that we made, whether good or bad, and then there are those that keep records of all the mistakes we made.
As if they never did anything wrong!
The drug pusher!
The drug user
The child abuser!
The liar!
The slanderer!
The gossiper!
The thief!
How quick they are to point the finger.
How lucky I am if my eyes never meet theirs again!
Surely, so much evil would be reviled in their eyes!
Shelter me from my foes who wish to bring many woes!
Surely, they belong to the devil.

I belong to My Lord as well as my offspring.
He shelters us from such evil.

He is the creator of Heaven and earth and looks into the hearts and minds of all.
That the proud should fall!
He finds strength in the weak.
I am yours, as the bee always returns back to the honeycomb to be fed on the nectar of life.
For it is your word that my soul finds infinite peace.
Jesus, you are my one and all
I know no matter what challenges I face in life that you will not let me fall!
And for this I praise, you!
I am honored to call you Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
