Sue Carroll Poet Ghazal

Dear Lord

Dear Lord

You make the darkness bright dear Lord                      
You chase away the night, dear Lord                      

With you I know that I can soar      
Above the mountain’s height, dear Lord

I have no fear when you are there  
My life you expedite,* dear Lord

You raise me up, you comfort me  
You show me what is right, dear Lord  

You are my strength and my succour
You’re with me in my plight dear Lord  

My sins I beg that you’ll forgive,
When I stand in Thy sight dear Lord 

*make easier

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
