To your altar, lord
1. To Your Altar, Lord
cecil a. rubino
I come to you hesitant and intimidated;
Thoughts wail: Am I worthy my meek, lamb?
Puff of wind moaned casting a fearful heart;
Come here, my child, to your altar- I sobbed.
Eyes staring at me, awakening an oblivious heart;
Bringing me out to a scenery hundreds of decade past.
A man crowned with thorns, whipped by the cruel hands;
To your altar, I saw you crucified.
You said, This is how much I adore you,
No length of measures knows its dimension, my child.
A man crowned with thorns, whipped by the cruel hands;
To your altar, I saw you crucified.
Head bowed, arms stretched, body lay on the ground.
Acts of surrender to you I brought out:
My strengths, weaknesses and limitations
Here I am- use me, Ill do my part. To your altar, Lord
