Im Not Here To Stay

Lord I know I'm not here to stay, 
But thanks for waking me up today. 
Prepare me for what may come my way
And take my pains and burdens away. 

Teach my muted lips to pray, 
Teach me your truth to say, 
Help me keep my foes at bay 
And teach me to watch and slay. 

Lord!  I don't know how long it will take
to take me to the doorway 
But make a way where 
there's seems to be no way

Wax away all my dismay, 
Stick with me in every step I take
And every move I make. 
And I will serve you till my dying day.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. 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.
