Love

Love - God loves us so much The priest purred – - That He doesn’t count our falls So much as the times we pick ourselves up And how much do I love God After I’ve had to pick myself up? How much? How much? Am I upset with a blow to my pride? To think that God is not at my side – But am I so proud? Perhaps I don’t know myself well enough- It’s hard to fight temptation alone God keeps too low a profile I see only one pair of footprints And they’re mine They’re not divine. Carry me God And love me Don’t be shy Don’t keep testing me Surely by now you know me. Is it likely I’ll leave you at my age? Is it likely at this stage? You prayed for St Peter Please pray for me And help me. Lead me not into temptation I pray to you But the devil blocks your ears; Is Our Lady in tears While Satan jeers…….? I don’t know anything. Dear God - let me know something. I don’t need to eat the fruit of knowledge But at least let me know if you’re on my side Maybe I’m not important enough Or maybe you’ve got other engagements Or maybe because you don’t want me to lose my mind Or maybe due to some technical fault beyond earthly control Or maybe because of the communication barrier Or maybe because of the distance Or maybe you’re trying to see How much I can take. Don’t – for my sake Don’t – for your sake Please don’t – Dear God…….. If you love God You will keep His commandments But if you love me God Please help me to keep them. I can’t manage alone Please don’t let me break again Lord make me chaste – now! Don’t let me be the devil’s toy Please don’t – Dear God……. Keep a high profile On the cross of temptation Don’t let me have to repeat your words Dear Lord Jesus - My God My God Why have you forsaken me? I think you only said it once But I’ve felt it more than once. Don’t forsake me Please don’t – Dear God…… Help me Stay with me Fight for me Love me Please do – Dear God……..
