The Lord must Reign

The Lord must reign within my heart;
With Him what can compare?
Possessing nought is blessedness
When our God reigneth there

The sins which I possess within
I sacrifice to God
For nought is worthy of my praise
'Cept Jesus Christ my Lord

I raise my Ebeneser Lord;
Within my sinful heart
For nought will take away your love
And you will ne'er depart

This poem was written after I had read AW Tozer's book - The Pursuit of God. Chapter 2 is entitled - The Blessedness of Possessing Nothing.
