Before I Find a Boy I Love
Written by Christina Kleiss
Oh Lord, I have a big request
Before I find a boy I love,
I pray you show me how.
I know your Word is very clear
On what a boy should be.
Don't let my feelings mix me up,
But give me eyes to see.
Keep me from boys who turn my heart
From You with looks or charm.
Protect me from temptations and
Those things which bring me harm.
Help me discern all those sweet words
Guide me to see what's right, what's wrong,
My love for You is at stake.Help me consider only boys,
With lives that would please You.
Whose focus is to serve You wellAnd do what You would do.
That seeks and does what's right;
So if I choose to follow him,
We'll both walk in the light.
Show me a boy that knows You well,
So he can know and do Your will
And love just like You do.
I know that if I follow You
And put You first in all,The boy I find will be Your choice;
Our purity won't fall.
Prepare me, Lord, to be a girl
That such a boy will choose;
To grow with him, close to Your heart---
With You we cannot lose!
We attended a seminar over the weekend and bought a new book I absolutely LOVE. It is called A Closer Look at the Evidence by Richard and Tina Kleiss. This poem is in it and I fell in love with it. If you have daughters, I think you will like it too. Enjoy.
Blessings,
Heather
