Raise

2781

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.

  • orchidee

    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.
