Peace
Oh Lord, hear my prayer,
Why hast thou not spoken my name?
Has my weary soul been forgotten?
Shame grips my spirit as I weep deep inside.
Quiet rest is beckoning my mind.
Is not my work done?
Suffering haunts me to no end as the
depths of night turn into tired mornings.
Loneliness has taken hold of my heart once more.
For the sake of destiny,
breathe life into me once more so
that I can be whole again.
Tomorrow is yet another day
but for my body it remains an extent ion of today
and many days before.
Forgive me, Lord, of my trespasses.
I fear the doom of solitude may overtake me.
Save me, my Lord, I await your need for me.
Amen
