Sharing a Thursday Afternoon with my Lord

I am here, Lord,

Perhaps slightly late

But knowing that Thou art forgiving;

In this world where little is forgiven,

But now comes peace

With the awareness that I am here,

With You,

And another who I love,

Taking note of the comfort

That you bring.

For me,

There would be no purpose

Without You,

For this life tries the spirit

Of men,

And requires conviction,

For faith can be fleeting

Whenever cause exits living,

And without You

I am unable to visit hope,

And without hope

Purpose flees.

So…stay close, My Lord,

And nourish me

With thy Spirit,

The Spirit who I know,

For incumbent upon me

Is the duty which I must share;

For without sharing

This life will have passed me by,

For there is but one life,

And you gave Yours

For mine!
