Listening

It is our human nature Lord, to want to be satisfied,
Our minds will wander, and then sometimes we get filled up with pride,
We want instant gratification, something to improve the way we feel,
And it slips from our mind, what happened on Calvary’s hill,
Then there are times with trivial things, we want to do on our own,
We remember what we thought were happier times, but that sin is long gone,
For we are supposed to be new creations, to be molded by God’s hand,
And when we’re faced with those temptations, we have to take a stand,
Our mind wants to us to sin, but our heart tells us no way,
This is probably a good time, to get on our knees and pray,
So Lord help me remember, that You are always near,
And in the trials of this life, know it is only Your voice I need to hear.
