All I Need

This poem came to me the other day and I thought I would share it with you all.  It kinda goes along with my last post.  In life it feels like we have to constantly fight to follow God's will and not our own wills.  Enjoy!

My dear, sweet Jesus
Finally it is plan to see
My desire to follow this selfish hear,
And not the path ordained for me.
My poor heart is full of hope
For things the world will offer it.
But what are those things to me?
If it's You that I must forfeit?
Often I wish to cling,
To my childish pursuits of happiness.
But if my desires are not to serve You
Then they are pointless. 
As a child I sought the things of a child
And You blessed me anyway.
But know I know the truth;
I want my life Your way.
Lord, I pray that You would come
And change my decietful heart.
I want to be close to your side.
Let us never be apart!
My desire is to follow you.
Let my joy come from you,
Let my heart long for you,
Let my life be sustained by you,
For you are all that I need.
