ROMANS 7:19 - MIDNIGHT MEDITATION


MIDNIGHT MEDITATION
Prayer one night when I couldn’t sleep – Susie Hale

Lord, You command me to be holy, set apart.
You say if I’ll confess that You will cleanse my heart.
You say there’s no temptation given me that I can’t bear.
“Show me Your alternative” must be my constant prayer.

        For the things that I would not,
                Those are the things I do
        Whenever I stop following
                And take my eyes off You.

“Be ye not conformed to this world,” is what Paul said.
The way to be transformed is putting God’s word in my head.
“Thy word have I hidden in my heart,” King David wrote.
“That I might not sin against Thee,” completes the quote.

        For the things that I would not,
                Those are the things I do
        Whenever I stop following
                And take my eyes off You.
