The Prayer

Touch me in the mettled heart of faith tenderly Hear my prayers rise in praise, and emptied to kneel Eternal God, before thy grace. What echoes now in me? Power beseaching with sin blistered tongue for glory Raft of mercy on angel wings lifted making the story Atonement gifted merging tension and compassion Yearning prophetically for historic provisions made Embrace of grace and faith with love's wide submission Remembering hope is unwatered flower that does not fade
