Could Be Used As a Prayer

[Guest guest]

Found a lovely poem by Patience Strong...could almost be used as a

prayer(?)

Lord, this is a special time for me,

And more than love & human sympathy,

I need the comfort of the conciousness,

That Thou art nigh to strengthen & bless.

Lord, I've never come this way before,

I need Thy word my courage to restore,

I need Thy hand to reach for fearlessly,

In the ordeal that lies ahead for me.

Now in my weakness, Lord, I need so much,

The balm & blessing of thy healing touch,

Thee I have failed - yet I dare to say,

Be Thou my friend & meet my need this day.
