Because I love, thus I trust.
Because I doubt, I know I must,
Surrender my heart to Jesus.
Because I am so afraid,
Because I'm weak, I am made,
Strong in the Love of Jesus.
Please come and into me breathe,
the life for which I am in need,
my soul pleads with most desperate cries,
expressing longing for You in sighs,
My sight is blurred with tearing,
My trust is fogged from fearing
But I can still see You nearing.
Take another day,
Take again my life,
Be in the words I say,
Be the end of my strife.

Although my religious, and cultural views contradict most of your poem I admire your intent.

the rhyming detracts seriousness.
much work is to be done with punctuation. notice where your sentences are. help us be able to read it how you have in your mind and not tumble over the marks-- it should flow by those signs.
it is a sweet prayer that probably many can identify with- those who use the same language, who for those words signify the same or similar things. however, it would do you well, if you want to reach a deeper identity to work out some of your words/phrases that are packed with premises.
