I desire a heart that is completely fair,
That is always hearing God’s truth,
I want to always hear the cry of the poor,
To make sure that my comfort doesn’t deafen me,
I am determined to stand up for those who kneel,
To speak for those who have no voice,
I will not cower when contempt lashes out,
My firm stand is hatred’s thorn in the side,
The uncomfortable truth is Love’s sure friend.
I pray that my life will be lived as an example,
Of a heart that is single minded in its love,
I want my legacy to be dedicated to Love’s trust,
True love that doesn’t wander when lust rises up,
This is the love that reaches into eternity,
Speaking with a beautiful voice that is heard by all.
Blessing comes out of faithfulness,
Not the easily won victories that quickly fade,
Out of the despair of the violent opposition,
Will come a lasting peace that stands firm,
Blessing upon blessing is the reward of trust,
Praise is the constant song that comes to me,
I know this begins and ends with God’s word,
Anointing my life with abundance and loyalty,
Everywhere I look I find new ways to praise,
The neverending shout of Eternity’s glory in me.
