Don’t you realise that you become the slave
of whatever you choose to obey?
(Romans 6:16; NLT).
1. May I let go of vanity,
And choose to seek your face.
May I let go of judging, Lord,
And choose, instead, your grace.
2. May I let go of bitterness,
And chose to know your balm.
May I let go of anger, Lord,
And choose, instead, your calm.
3. May I let go of jealousy,
And choose to share your bliss.
May I let go of hatred, Lord,
And choose, instead, your kiss.
4. May I let go of selfishness,
And choose to love, each day.
May I let go of evil, Lord,
And choose, instead, your way.

Great poem with a lovely metre to it, it flows well. But poetry aside the message is one of the hardest things we have to do as children of God, to choose to do things His Way. God bless you sister.
