Poem
With your love, you love me, with your strength, you Lord, Strengthen me By your living word I am Given wisdom, faith, and Knowledge with which to Guide my ways I have need of your love Every moment where sin Has a chance to enter, Where worldly lust has A chance to rise I need your living word to Guide my feet, for your word, Is surely an illuminating light for my path For alone, I will fall alone, I will stumble alone, and My life would be given into Worldly sin Without you, my mind might seek To do the evil which might breed in a lustful heart I cannot stand alone without Your power, your grace, your Love, and wisdom to guide me My bones would become brittle As a result of sin, and my body Would become sickly falling prey To worldly decay My youthfulness might disappear Enabling sin to have its way with me, if you are not near me I shall age before those who Are older in years, for I will Become old and disabled, my eyes Blind and my hands feeble I will be lost in the worlds Darkness, and madness of sin, If you, my Lord are, not my rock, my sure foundation… For only through you can one Gain eternal life, an eternal Gift Which shall endure forever Only in you is paradise found For your love is the one true love which inhabits heavens paradise forever within itself I have such a great need for you To be my God, my Lord and my Master, to supplement me all of My days spiritually I beg for the crumbs from your Table of life, so that my spirit May have Its hunger filled… That I may always be a part of you My master, as you are inside of me Filling me with your lasting love So that you will never say to me Again, If you love me, you will Do all my commands… And I will reply gratefully to you Lord, “I will do as you command and even more.” So that when my restoration is made Complete, you will seat me in the Presence of my brothers and sisters… Where together we will praise you, Lord, Morning, noon, and evening with Joyful Psalms of praise. (Written, October 1976)
