    MORE OF YOU AND LESS OF ME

    Jan. 2000

    This yearning; ---what could it be?
    My soul crying out---to be bold and free?
    No, I think not,--- for I've freedom and more.
    To be less like me,--- and more like Thee, Lord?
    Yes, that's the longing --that's deep inside,
    Down in my heart--In Christ abide.

    I want to lose me--Complete in His being.
    Christ in me---All others seeing.
    Where is my love ---for others showing?
    I'm more lost in me ---than in Him Knowing.
    Self is always---Having it's say;
    I almost despair--having my way.

    Christ, take control---Holy Spirit, be;
    Full and complete---controlling me.
    My will, I give up --- To you, I release;
    To be like Christ, ---to have His peace;
    This is my yearning,--My constant plea;
    More of you,----And less of me.

    Ask, and it shall be given you:seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Matt. 7-7 You have met the requirements now the blessings shall follow and maybe a job for you to complete. Beautiful.

    I will be glad to read your work. I think I have read some, however, I'm not in here as much as I was, because I joined a new poetry site. It's called Poets Expression. The site is "poetsexpression.ning.com I am listed as peacefullyabiding there. I would have been listed by that name here, but it was too long for them. I also am under Sheila Weaver. There are fewer of us there but growing fast. Why don't you check it out and see what you think of it. There are more people there that are serious poets and are Christians. Of Course there are Christians here also. We would love to have you check us out and see if you like what you see. Everyone is very friendly and respectful.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
