Raise me up and take me when I'm gone
Let me be one of your chosen
And I will be your song
To praise you forever more
For everything you've done
Raise me up and take me when I'm gone.
Raise me up and take me when I'm gone
You know that I love you
Like you I can become
Don't let me be presumptuous
By grace you lead us on
Raise me up and take me when I'm gone.
Raise me up and take me when I'm gone
But in this life keep me
From what the world's become
Sheltered under your wing
My race with you to run
Raise me up and take me when I'm done.

This feels liek it could be set to a hymn-tune. Shall I, if one comes to mind?
Maybe it's an 8.8.8.8. or a 3.8.5.6. or 32.34.95.68. or summat like that. Depends how many syllables in each line.
Well, it fits to 9.6.6. 6.6.9. if I amended line 2 of stanza 1, which has 8 syllables at present.
But it's a tricky one - I can't think of any hymns with that meter.
This prayer or poem, which ever you wish, is a plea for acceptance and recognition well written.
got my foot tapping on its own accord ..
It's done It's job then,
Cheers!
