Cleanse Me Poem by louis rams

you are the glory and you engulf me in your love
i feel your presence around me and also up above.
you put me back on my feet and give me strength when i am weak
i see your smile in the sun, and in the moon when the day is done.
i hear people praise you in the churches and in the chapels
and even on the streets, and they sense your presence in every heart beat.
you touch the souls of all around and where ever i look your love is found.
LORD baptize me with your holy water and cleanse this tortured
soul of mine- which will make me a better person, but will take a little time.
