Does the Lord Reign?

"Go Ye"
Help me not to be an ineffectual rattle,
Quiet me, Holy Spirit
Until Your timing is right
Or whisper firmly in love.
Squelch my quivering tongue
Until You can articulate through me
A message in Your strength,
Not my fleshly efforts.
Help me not to be
A noisy, 4th of July display
But a single, sharp, clean shot
Straight to the searching heart
With Your Word's message
Shared in "other seeking"
Selfless love.
He Reigns
Praise You, Jesus, for speaking to me
For moving upon the wars
Within my heart
To cause me to know
I have heard Your Spirit
Your patience persevered
And I will bear Your fruit
Because You are righteous
You are All Power
You are more than able
And I yield my Self
To You, Jesus,
Lord of Lords, King of Kings
The Lord God Omnipotent
Who does, indeed, reign.

The application that makes a difference in our eternal standing is that He reigns in me, and that he does as I continue to yield myself to Him. Thank you for sharing your heart. You are an inspiration and your words bring challenge to every believer. Lord willing, it bring encouragement to those who are still sitting on the fence afraid to jump into the arms of Jesus.Well I wrote something but it didn't show.... thanks again for the use of your incredible and touching poem!
