Dear Lord, I Need
Dear Lord, I Need
Dear Lord, I need your loving power
from microsecond to the hour.
You provide my life’s foundation,
the gift of pure salvation.
Dear Lord, I need your wise provision
for all small and large decisions
in accordance with your will
as you whisper, “Peace, be still.”
Dear Lord, I need you in the storms
that pass with their alarms
and strife that makes us cry
when giving up some dreams that die.
Dear Lord, I need your daily grace
my grievous faults to all erase
bestowing great your goodness kind
each given day and for all time.
Dear Lord, I try to do my best
to pass this Earthly journey’s tests
but for my needs to be complete
please let me know your “Mercy Seat.”
