Sitting On a Park Bench

Sitting On a Park Bench As I’m sitting on a park bench, my heart does quench for you Watching the birds fly, in the corner of my eye there’s a view A soft light a soft voice, I make my choice that I always knew You made your call, tried to break my wall your right on cue I still need you Lord; I’m onboard to see your love come thru In streets of gold; I behold infinite wisdom within eyes of blue I still need you Lord; to mold my broken heart and start anew Your light is my sight; help me see amidst the darkest avenue Like the Sun needs its day...I need you Like the flowers need their sway...I need you Like the blackness needs its gray...I need you Like the aroma needs its bouquet...I need you Like the mountains need their sky...I need you Like the leaving need their bye...I need you Like the birds need their fly...I need you Like my tears need their dry...I need you I’ll never forget that memorable day... Sitting on a park bench with the Lord I began to pray... Lord, I need you, now more than ever... I never meant for our love to sever... And the Lord said... From time to time you have abandoned me... For through out all of time, I shall never abandon you... Even through out eternity... ‘Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.’ Aug.23.2017 Why Do I Need You Lord Sponsored by: James Edward Lee Sr.
