New Year's Prayer - A Poem

In keeping with my challenge to write more poems, here is another poem I have written. It is based off of several Bible texts and my own prayers.

New Year's Prayer 

Cleanse my heart, oh God,

Create it clean again.

Wash it white as snow, 

Remove the sin within.

Renew my spirit, Lord.

Teach me all your ways.

This miracle you do,

God, I give you praise.

As I try to live for You,

A worker in the field,

Mold me and refine me.

Lord, my life to You I yield.

Put me anywhere,

Lead me as I go.

Nothing will I fear,

You're with me, that I know.

The path is not easy,

The mountains rough and steep.

My trust in You I place.

My footsteps You will keep.
