Tune: Taize Chant
('O Lord hear my prayer')
*********
Draw near me, O Lord
I trust in your word
Your sheep your voice have heard
Come soon to my aid
May my faith [be] firm, staid
In you, you all have made
You the Creator
The God and Father
With hope you us assure
That you sent your Son
The work He has done
To full redeem each one
And your Spirit too
Shall strengthen, renew
Help us focus, to view
You by faith each day
Help us go your way
With us your presence stay
You our guide shall be
Look even on me
Give me humility
To follow on sure
A fine treasure-store
You share with us e'ermore
Through all life's stages
And through all ages
All history's pages
You ever are there
With you none compare
Do us good, well us fare

Good write Orchi but as you know my Christian beliefs at the moment are not there.
Thanks Gold - I understand.
Please pardon me but I love your wording "at the moment" as of you are always open.
Thank you both, I'll excuse myself back out. Lol
I see us all as God's and if it was written in the way my head read it, we could change this world in an instant.
Thank you
Much peace and respect
Always appreciated
Thanks Dan. We all need ongoing spiritual understanding.
If you are talking presidents and presiding, you may well have just played your trump card here Orchidee...
Neville
Heehee thanks Neville. The President is the person who presides over the Holy Communion/Lord's Supper - Vicar or other Minister usually.
Once again, your strength gives you your motivation, and yours come from HIM, that allows you to write such awesome poetry.
Thanks Suresh.
Thanks UNCLE STEVE ~ BRIAN HERE ~ Angela still in BED (5am Thurs !) Love the TAIZE (Repetition is good for the Soul) One of our Local Anglican Churches does TAIZE and they throw in a Few European & Africn Languages as well Very UNIVERSAL and UPLIFTING ! Reminds us that in the Universe There is One God ~ One Faith ~ One Lord (JESUS) ~ one BAPTISM ~ One HOLY BIBLE and One Heaven ! This is confirmed by YOUR POEM which focusses on the TRINITY ~ God The FATHER ~ The SON & the HOLY SPIRIT ~ AMEN !
