Prayer

PRAYER a Translation by Andre Kotze of Gebed by Koos du Plessis Keep me close to all that’s humble Keep me in Your holy shade Grant that every earthly pursuit and fear finally disappear and fade I have been down countless side-roads Lost my way for lack of light You have always come to fetch me again Make this, Lord, my final flight. Every day is just a daydream Every room an empty hall Every earthly dream of riches and fame Just a shadow ‘gainst the wall What I am is grace and gravel What I have is borrowed light I am thirsting for Your waters of rest Lord, oh lead me there tonight
