A FALLOW HEART By Rev. Dean Beaty 8/10/09 Hosea 10:12 “Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.” (KJV) Has my heart grown fallow Lord; no fruit there doth abound, When once there was abundant fruit from profitable ground? Have I allowed the weeds to grow within my fertile heart? Have I allowed our fellowship to slowly drift apart? Break up the fallow ground again. Once more I seek Thee Lord. Sow there the good seed of Thy Word. The seed Thou wilt reward. I cry once more to God above for fruit to grow again. I cry for blessings in my life and rid this heart of sin. Search out the deepest chambers Lord; the secrets of my heart. Come point out every root of sin which caused me to depart. Search me oh Father through and through with all Thy Holy Word. May my contrite confession Lord, before Thy throne be heard. Fighting a beast can not compare to looking at my sin. Help me dear Lord to fight this beast and with Thy help to win. What I see within my heart, I need God to defeat. Come again in power oh God when next this beast I meet.
