Brokenness
01/14/2011
George Poulo



Lord,
You have broken me
And broken me
When I thought
I could take no more
You broke me still

Only by being broken
From the world
From the flesh
From self
From sin
From human effort
Can the Spirit
Have full control
And reign

You cannot trust
The soul that is
Lured by the things
Of the world
The things of the flesh
The things of self

Only the soul
That is free
Can you trust
And place your Spirit within

It is only when
We have died to all these things
Can we move freely in the Spirit
And God can rule and reign

It is only when we take
No thought for our life
What we shall eat
What we shall wear
And yield completely to the Spirit
That God can use us

Money has no power over me
Sex has no power over me
Associations of the world
Have no power over me
Food has no power over me
Self-interest has no power over me
The world has no power over me

Only God has power over me
Only the Spirit
Only obedience
Only love

This is the fruit of brokenness
This is the goal of God
This soul, God can use for His glory


Amen
