SEARCH ME GOD

Yet another unanswered prayer

At your feet, I lay my fear

On my cheek rolls a tear

Your voice, I want to hear

Search me God

I yearn not to enrich my pain

My requests are they in vain?

Your glory did I just gain?

Pleading on my knees again

Search me God

To You, I bring my broken heart

My thoughts to You I set apart

Cleanse me and help me restart

Thy will in my life to impart

Search me God

In sorrow and anguish I weep

My eyes, so heavy but cant sleep

Dispatch sins from You that keep 

Shepherd this squandered sheep

Search me God

Lead me towards everlasting way

Surrendering myself, in bed I lay

Strength to pass the test I pray

With You beside, I can face the day

Search me God

Story behind the poem:

"Search me O Lord" is a poem inspired by Psalm 139, where the psalmist asks God to search him. This verse spoke to me deeply and I have been praying this verse as a prayer. Just thought of jotting down few things running on my mind in the form of a poem.
