Reconstruction



Fix these hands Lord.fix these hands
Such willing tools for sins demands
They do the bidding of a worldly man
I lift them up to Your commands

Fix these feet Lord, fix these feet
They've strayed so far away from Thee
Show them that narrow path to lead
So they may walk down Heavens streets

Fix this mouth Lord, from which I speak
Let no more evil from there proceed
Send Your Spirit to flow through me
So it opens only in praise of Thee

Fix these eyes Lord, from  which I look
On the many wrongs I've undertook
Your precious love, they've overlooked
Place them back in Your Holy Book

Fix this heart Lord, fix this heart
Cleanse it out, make all sin part
Then refill it with what Thou art
A life in Christ, a brand new start

This reconstruction of my soul
An empty life taken and made full
Shine through me so all may know
This reconstruction of  my soul...

      p.s. Your poem 'THE TREEHOUSE' is one of my all time favorites. You have a true gift for evoking emotion. I bow to you my friend.
