Glory To My Lord

Perfunctory story For my Lord's glory Captures the nature and signature of the history Lived during the pilgrimage In which I don't have to rummage For breath, thought or image Cos the Lord always by my side Not for a second brushing me aside Ascertaining, sustaining, maintaining I decide In my Lord's glory I rejoice Every second I elect to listen to his voice To make the optimum choice Under his guidance Always within me, in attendance Always by me in abundance To grant me grace Sparing my life traces and stresses of disgrace As the Lord holds me in a warm embrace My perspective to strengthen My years, my days to lengthen Although I dwell in a vessel so earthen I sometimes go astray But on my knees I bend to pray No more his love should I betray.
