Bible Verse Poetry – Create in Me a Clean Heart

October 20, 2019

I’m so invigorated by the passion flowing within me as I set aside time every day to read my Bible and let God speak to me as I write. I am working on a new project. I am writing poetry inspired by Bible verses. I have written 12 poems so far, with a goal of having 50 written by my birthday in March 2020.

What is your favorite Bible verse(s)? Share in the comment section and I will work it into my project!

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” – Psalm 51:10

Dusted in ash,

My heart often lacks

What I need to be a worthy servant.

Create in me a clean heart,

Dust off the parts

In my soul

So that better I can know

You.

Create in me a renewed spirit

Color me wonderfully vivid

So that I can praise

Your name.

Create in me a pure soul,

So I may honor You

Wherever I go

That I can live a life that shows

Your light.

Ps 42 especially vs 1
Psalms 42 As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
“Where is your God?”
When I remember these things,
I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
For the help of His countenance.
O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From the Hill Mizar.
Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And in the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life.
I will say to God my Rock,
“Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
As with a breaking of my bones,
My enemies reproach me,
While they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.

Revelation 21:7 is the verse that helps me when my depression gets me down: “Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.”
