Excerpt of "Poetry from God" by Joseph F. Harlin

Lord you see and know my heart 

Willing to be your perfect vessel 

But every time I try to do right 

My mind begins to wrestle. 

I'm blinded by my weaknesses 

In sin I'm entangled 

I can't breathe in your presence 

Because my spirit has been strangled 

It's hard to see any hope from the way my life is angled 

My knees shake in weakness 

My spirit is just not steady 

So while I try to get things right 

Lord cover me till I'm ready 

By your loving kindness 

I am always drawn 

Can you fill me again 

Though my strength is gone 

I think about my purpose 

From dusk till dawn 

My knees shake in weakness

my spirit is just not steady 

while I try to get things right 

Lord cover me till Im ready. 

My hands are shaking 

My soul is aching 

My life seems to keep crumbling 

My feet are always stumbling 

But it's a process I just can't rush 

So I'll tell my doubting lips to hush 

One day, Satan's head I will crush 

But until then, until my spirit is steady 

Lord hold on to my hand 

And cover me till I'm ready
