Dear Lord

Dear Lord,

Caleb Goldstrom 

Praise, Repent, Ask, Yield

1 John 4:8

 

J ovially I will rejoice in your name 

O’ Lord.

H ow good is your love, that

N othing else compares to.

 

3  wise men came to you and said you were king.

16  years and more I will love you till my final breath.

 

Lord Jesus, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Wash me of my iniquities and cleanse me from my sin.

I am sorry for my rebellious actions for I know your forgiveness:

With all three nails through your wrist 

You said I love you

With 39 lashes from the whip

You said I love you

With the sins I have committed

You said I love you

 

With your unconditional and unwaning love 

I pray you will soften the hearts of non-believers.

They will know that you do not wash your hands when clean, you go to the sink when dirty.

I pray you will come again and end all suffering. 

I pray you will give me the wisdom to go in peace to love and serve you.

 

J ustly you will judge me and

E very day I will serve you.

S olitary, I feel when I am not with you.

U nequivocally you are king and the

S avior of us sinners. 

 

I  do believe you know me

S o I can spend eternity with you.

 

L ove is all you give to me.

O’ Lord you are all things good and holy.

R ejuvenation of the spirit is one of the many gifts you have given me. 

D istance from you in any way will be the death of my soul.

 

I pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.
