For Me Intercede

 

Dig around me, fertilize, Jesus Master,

Or else there will be eternal disaster,

As my life is barren, no fruit do I bear,

Of the Father’s displeasure, I’m quite aware,

He looks for me to bear good fruit in His Name,

Alas! Year after year I remain the same,

He comes, He looks; no fruit have I to offer,

To have me using soil, what does it proffer?

 

Come by me Lord Jesus, Divine Blest Servant,

For You know I’ve been stubborn and adamant,

In my own proud ways that myself uplift,

Showing, abusing, every God-given gift,

With attitude that says I my God must please,

Not knowing I’m falling by lengths, not degrees,

Judge God has strongly spoken and I have heard,

His judgment on me has my stubborn heart stirred.

 

I confess Lord Jesus, on low bended knee,

You’re the only Person who can now help me,

Doomed to be cut down, deserving death to die,

I cannot God’s just verdict for me becry,

On my behalf I hear Jesus speak boldly,

I have come here to save vile sinners only,

To You I surrender, give me what I need,

Dig around me, fertilize, for me intercede.

Amen!
