Just Your Touch Lord
On this special day Lord,
I shall not ask for much.
Just your arms around me,
That I might feel your touch.
That your nail scarred hands,
Be continually upon my life.
Bless my comings and goings,
Lord, watch over my wife.
For the little things you've done,
Of which I've not oft thought.
For your plan of salvation,
That through, Jesus, was bought.
That today none may stray Lord,
Be my solemn prayer for others.
That y our kingdom be enlarged,
With many sisters and brothers.
Through mistake should I take,
Someone for granted this day.
Bade me swiftly go to them,
Seeking their forgiveness I pray.
And should one carry great burdens,
Or have some genuine need.
May I share with them the word,
Then back it up with some deed.
A pretty full order Lord,
From one not seeking much.
Should you not grant it all,
Then just give me your touch.
For with that I'll be content,
And today I'll not idly sit.
But be a spirit filled person,
Because of You and of it.
