Something For Him

This is a poem I wrote the other day for my creative writing class:

Something For Him

Lord, I want to be like you.
To love like you would love,
Serving with a heart anew.
Keeping my eyes on you above,
Pleasing you in all that I do.

The struggles I go through everyday,
Make me desire to know your will.
Leaving all, forsaking my own way,
I come before you waiting still,
A lump of worthless clay.

How I long above all else,
To let you be my Guide.
Daily denying my own self,
Patiently waiting by your side.

I’m leaving all my desires,
Forever in Your hands.
Knowing your thoughts are higher,
Than all my foolish plans.

So take my only life Lord,
Do Your will through me.
My heart I’ve now outpoured,
Make me useful for Thee.
