Heavenly Help

orchidee



Tune: Duke Street

('Fight the good fight')

Possibly adapted from an MPS poet

(mislaid original poem)

**********

Help me, Lord, to understand me

That I see what our Father sees

And do help me make the changes

That improves and rearranges

 

Do Lord, take my inventory

Help me truly know my story

It be my own biography

Of all the things that make up me

 

Help me Lord here to get better

And stay dry in life's rough weather

And please don't let me strong rage storm

Nor to rain* down in any form (*i.e. rain down in anger, etc)

 

Help me Lord here to put you first

So come, quench my terrific thirst

And help me assist the others

That they truly be my brothers/sisters

 

And help me Lord not to stumble

Or be less than honest, humble

And help me daily to walk on

Whole leaning on you, keep me strong

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. format. An older poem. It's a re-post. It seems a bit of a different style to mine. I don't think I wrote the original words to it, but have mislaid the author, possibly an MPS poet. Is it you?!

        Good one Orchi.
        Maybe it is one that KP wrote for you.

          Thanks Gold. Yes, KP may have wrote this one originally.
