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.

    • orchidee

      Thanks Gold - I understand.

      • Poetic Dan

        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

      • Poetic Dan

        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

          If you are talking presidents and presiding, you may well have just played your trump card here Orchidee...

            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.
