Trust in God and Leave All for My Sake

This poem was written after I turned to and read Mark 10:26 while praying.  The part of the verse that truly stuck out to me was this: "Trust in God and leave all for my sake."

For Jesus' sake I left;

I trusted in my God.

And in that stormy cleft,

I held the righteous rod.

For Jesus' sake I followed,

For Jesus, I denied.

For Jesus I left all my life,

And for my soul He died.

For Jesus' sake I prayed,

And God has heard my prayer!

In my darkest hour,

My Master still was there.

For Jesus, I have sacrificed:

Sanctified I'd be,

For He has given every thing;

My Lord left all for me.
