Transparent Servant - A Rhymed Verse - Essentials in Worship Leadership

Before I take the platform to lead worship, I pray for God to make me transparent. I pray for God's glory to shine through me. As Andy Park stated in To Know You More, I don't want to steal any of the glory that belongs to Him.

Several of the the lines to this rhymed verse came to me not long after I felt God calling me into worship leading. I jotted them down in my journal and thought maybe one day they might be used in a song. I had forgotten all about it until I started this class. Several of the things mentioned in the media and readings reminded me of the lines I had written. I felt like the words somehow belonged better in verse form than as lyrics to a song.

This is my first attempt at writing in this format. I dare not call it a poem on a chance that I offend those who actually write poetry. I tried to make each line seven syllables in length. It would be stronger if the syllables were accented in the same places from line to line. I welcome your feedback.
