Dear heavenly Father, up above,
One thing I ask: Teach me to love.
And not just those who love me first,
But teach me, Lord, to love the worst,
For they are blind, and cannot see,
They need your truth to set them free;
A truth I'd gladly tell them of,
If you would just teach me to love.

Sweet Jesus Christ, the spotless Lamb,
I call to you, Lord, here I am.
If there's a brother with a need,
Please help me, Lord, to intercede.
And keep me from the hypocrites,
Who honor only with their lips.
Please let my heart be near to you,
Your hand upon each thing I do.

Oh, Holy Ghost, who dwells inside,
Please take away my foolish pride.
And when it's gone, then in its place,
I ask of you mercy and grace.
Remind me, lest I should forget,
How I mistreated Christ, and yet,
He chose to die that I might live,
And thus defined the word "forgive".

Yes, Jesus Christ, the risen Son,
Please look down on your chosen one,
And fill me daily with your word,
So I may speak 'til all have heard,
That you're the Way, the Truth, the Life,
And when you come back for your wife,
We'll all be joined in one accord,
Ready to go home with our Lord.

Amen.

Hi, Seeker47.

"Gifted" would definitely be the right word.

This poem was basically dropped into my spirit many years ago, as a new believer, while I was taking a shower.

Initially, I had a sense of pride in thinking that "I" wrote it.

However, it has long since become apparent to me that God gave me that poem as a sort of blueprint for my life.
