In Prayer

By Walter Burns

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

On this day to God above Of whom we know and cherish We send our thoughts of hope and love In faith we shall not perish If we live a life so long And do not waste one minute Lift our hearts in word and song And accept our Savior in it If our lives should be cut short If that is what our God hath willed Let it be upon report Our lives were Jesus filled This day we supped upon our meal Drug from shield and iron plate To those in need we ask You heal For Your compass we know is great You keep us close and when we fall Your eye upon the staggered sheep The Lamb who died for one and all Has cause to watch and weep We love you God, Your mercy awed We cannot fathom Your design This, Your image, although we're flawed Through each flicker, the Light will shine In Jesus Christ, the Lord, He lives! When exulting, we can, say then Oh, praise the mighty Lord forgives In Jesus Christ, His name, Amen. Written June 30th, 2001 © on Jun 30 2001 03:42 PM PST   0 • 13
