Tune: Langran
('Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face')
Adapted with permission, based on poem by
David Wakeling: 'Let me teach you how to pray'.
****************
O Abundant Spirit, now let me be
With you and live my life purposefully
And as I face the Fires of Evil you
Will cloak me in your Love safe, secure too
Let the storms of pettiness rage for I
Will not be afraid, and not you deny
I will follow path of the courageous
The pathway to your glory planned for us
The darkness, it will not engulf my hope
With your help and providings I shall cope
I know that when Death comes I will welcome
It, my wish to be welcomed to your Home

I remember years ago, back in the dark ages, asking if I could be a street sweeper.
Thanks 2.
I made a friend of death too Orchi but he told me he does no favors even for friends. lol Another great write
Thanks SB.
Nope - death's no friend really. It's called 'the last enemy' which shall be seen to defeated on the final day.
What a wonderful prayer.It sounds very familiar.
Thanks D.
Three wonderful stanzas that speak to the courage we must find within, only we choose. A very wise write my friend.
Thanks B. Not 'all my own work', as you see in the heading.
That's OK, it's in your heart go give to us.
Wonderful words Orchi.
