A Prayer

Tonight I happened to be going through some random documents on the computer, and I found this free verse poem I wrote awhile ago, or I guess it's a prayer in poem form.  This still is my prayer, that I would be open to God's searching my heart and that He would purify my heart.  I hope you can identify!

Your thoughts are not my thoughts,
Neither are Your ways my ways.
You are so much higher
As high as heaven is above the earth-
So are Your thoughts and ways above mine.

Father I pray that You
Would search out and know my heart
Try me, Lord, know my soul!
Sound out its depths – leave nothing hidden.
Leave nothing covered that should be known.

Make in me a clean heart;
Make me hear joy and gladness.
That my soul may rejoice
You desire truth in my inmost heart
So please purify me in Your truth.
