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.
