Lord, I am Listening

Lord, I am Listening.

Lord, I am here, listening,

But do I really hear?

Lord, I am waiting,

But am I truly ready?

Lord, I will follow you,

But am I wholly obedient?

Lord, you are my all in all,

Yet is this writ on my heart?

Lord, may my heart be still,

My ears open to hear; receive,

The loving counsel you give,

Your will not mine for my life,

Lord, may I be alert; vigilant,

Watchful for the bridegroom,

Always open to the Holy Spirit,

Obedient in all things; always,

Lord, may I not hesitate; murmur,

Hold back even in smallest way,

Thank you; you gave your all,

May I freely give my all for you,

Lord, thank you for unfailing love,

Love freely given to set me free,

Write that love deep in my heart,

So I know; confess Jesus all in all.
