Tune: Louvan
('Lord of all being, throned afar')
*******
Forgive me, Lord, too heavy load
I take upon myself, forebode
Then lose your peace, not wait your time
Perfectly instilled in life's rhyme
Help me to seek solutions clear
Always trusting that you are near
To help, to guide, to sanctify
Your holy presence to me nigh
Not turmoil, anguish, spread around
But that praises to you resound
Led by your wisdom, what to do
And what to say, imitate you
Guide me one thing to do, not rush
Many things at once, fluster, crush
Shall I be, for not sensibly
Would I live, nor be anxious-free
So witnessing of your peace true
It will inspire, strengthen anew
Then shall more of Christ's image be
Revealed, and all around shall see

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. metre. Written after a 'fluster' or 'wobbly' (verse 4). But I haven't found any hymns with the words 'thrown a wobbly' in them!

A fluster I said, not a hot flush! Though I am very old, and may need to look out for them! lol.
there is a green hill far away he sat and watched from his ancient wobbly throne....
