This Christian prayer poem is a word of supplication and proclamation unto the Lord to guide and protect us from evil.
In the aura of human experience, the resonance of words holds the power to shape our spiritual journey, invigorate our physical being, and nourish our innermost essence. Rooted in ancient wisdom, Psalm 118:17 stands as a beacon of hope and affirmation, declaring, "Indeed you shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord." From this sacred verse emerges the profound declaration, "O Lord I live for You," encapsulating a profound commitment to a life lived in devotion and service to the divine. These words echo through the corridors of our souls, stirring within us a deep-seated desire to align our every thought, action, and aspiration with the will of God.
Embedded within the fabric of "O Lord I live for You" is a transformative power that transcends mere utterance, infusing our existence with purpose and meaning. Inspired by the timeless wisdom of Psalm 3:1-8, these words serve as a clarion call to awaken the dormant potential within us, urging us to rise above the mundane and embrace the sacred. As we heed this divine summons, we are beckoned to embark on a journey of spiritual growth and self-discovery, guided by the unwavering presence of the Almighty.
O Lord I Live For You
Lord in your hand, I commit myself,
Let not my enemies have their ways over me.
Let not those who say we have gotten him,
Have their ways to plug me out of your Mighty hands.
To you O Lord, my eyes look up to your grace,
Oh, deliver me not into the hands of my enemies.
Hear me O Lord and let my cry find favour in you,
Lift me up and set me on a hill so high above my enemies.
Let those who seek my life behold your beauty in me,
And let them say indeed that the Lord God Almighty is with you.
You are my rock of ages and the lifter of my soul,
In you will I never be afraid of them that seek after my life.
In you, I put my trust in your grace that appeared unto me,
Let your hands of grace destroy the works of darkness in my life.
I will live for you O Lord God my Father,
For your love for me is the love that is incomparable.
