work in progress

pierce this pharisee heart in my chest
and put my self-righteousness to rest
instill in me humility’s vision
Lord, let me be genuine

Show me why for this world you would bleed
Give me a heart for my brother in need
fill me with a consuming passion
Lord, let me be genuine

hedge up my way from the things I pursue
keep me from lovers other than You
fix my eyes on the things of heaven
Lord, let me be genuine

  2. Also, is "work in progress" the title of the poem, or the title of the post saying that you haven't finished the poem yet?

  3. yeah, you can definitely try to put it to music if you want

    haha and the title of the post meant both that i might add more to the poem later as well as alluding to the fact that God is still working on my heart in these areas.
