Analysis of Speak to My Heart
With your hands,
move my hands to serve
With
your mercy,
lift the burdens I carry
With your words.
bring peace to my soul
Oh God,
In your goodness,
hear my humble prayers
With your wings,
shield me from all evil
In your hands,
I lay my head to rest
Oh Jesus,
Through your passion,
I am blessed with strength
By your resurrection,
I am filled with hope
With your love,
you fill me with grace
Holy Spirit,
Speak to my heart,
fill me with your presence
Speak to my heart
that I may do your will
Speak to my heart
forever I will sing your praises.

About this poem
As I was sitting in church on a Sunday morning, the first part of this poem came to me as I listened to Father Vic talk about the gospel reading. Later that week on Friday, on a sunny winter morning, once again, I was inspired to complete the poem I had started. When I began to write, the words poured out effortlessly as if they had already been written in heaven. The Holy Spirit moved me to write this poem. I hope you enjoy it and are able to feel all the love that I have for my Savior, Jesus Christ. more »
