I Do Need You So Lord

I am but only a human being
a women who needs material things
although I am materially blessed
I still need you Lord to give me rest

I try to take one day at a time
but at times this life weighs me down
and when I feel that I can't do this alone
that's when I pick up my imaginary phone

And place a prayer call to you my Heavenly Father
who knows how to get my life back in order
your there to listen to me 24/7
never too busy in your place of Heaven

You've known me ever since I was formed
in my Mother's womb before I was born
you know my past and my future
know how to heal all my sutures

At times my carnal mind has forgotten you
but you've never forgotten me tis true
I know who to call on when I feel blue
you keep me together like spiritual glue

I know you work in mysterious ways
to help me get through my earthly days
small and big blessings you send to me
sometimes I admit am too blind to see

This present world may be falling apart
with all the devil's arrows, slings and darts
but I know Lord you'll be with me to the end
helping me through life's dark tunnels and bends.

Hi Cheryl, You've penned such a good "down to earth " write to God. I enjoyed it from start to finish. I could relate to most of your lines. If this is for the contest, I think you have penned yourself a winner:-) Alexis
