Charlotte Watkins Poet Kyrielle

Lord, dear Lord

Lord, dear Lord, how I love you so,
may you be my truth, all I know.
Let me seek your voice, all day long,
knowing in you, I do belong.

Lord, dear Lord, let me fear nothing,
not distant past, nor coming spring.
May I lean on you, God so strong,
knowing in you, I do belong.

Lord, dear Lord, make me so humble,
let not doubting, make me stumble.
But may I rise to you in song,
knowing in you, I do belong.

Lord, dear Lord, please grant me true peace
where evil fails, temptations cease.
May I be there, in your great throng,
knowing in you, I do belong.
