Dear Lord Please Cleanse My Mind

Im alone now... the family's 
gone to bed...
sinful thoughts have 
entered my head

I don't know which
 direction to turn...
My mind feels like a fire... 
"ready to burn."

"Jesus help me!" is 
my cry and prayer...
I know you listen and 
you care!.

I don't want to think on thoughts
which trap and allure...
But to memorize God's word--
so holy and pure!

God's word is a light unto my feet...
 a lamp unto my path...
By HIS word directing me--
I'll avoid God's wrath!

Thank you Lord for being patient, 
loving and kind...
And thanks for giving me more
 of a Christ-like mind.

Your loving kindness has 
now filled my soul...
And by your word... my mind's 
been made whole!
