Don't Let One Ounce Poem by Gary James Smith

DON'T LET ONE OUNCE

Don't let one ounce of doubt
Live within my heart
But when and if it does arise
Lord bid it... Depart!
Help me live by faith each day
As You said they just should
And I will seek You early Lord
As You wish I would

On my knees with a prayerful heart
Bringing my petitions
As You the God of the impossible
Bring those prayers to fruition
With patience... longsuffering... and joyfulness
Awaiting on Your will
When in my anxious moments
Hearing Your... 'Peace be still'!

And praising in my spirit Lord
A genuineness of joy
With Your Holy Spirit's prompting
A taste of Heaven's alloy
For holy... holy... holy are You precious Lord
And heaven and earth will pass away
But not Thy written Word

And that Word becomes flesh
For all the world to see
Jesus Christ Our God Messiah
The Man of Calvary
Who when He is lifted up
Will draw all men to Him
May my faith be fortified
Praise God I've trusted Him!
