Thy Encouragement

If I could destroy myself, I would
But, would to God that I live
I excerise faith as if I knew Him
But, I've looked myself as I should
A sinner, a forgetful bulk
Destroyed in my own poetry
Lord...
Have mercy...
I repented that I should live
But...
With thy truth and love, thy spirit
Thy fellowship, thy presence
Thy wonders, thy creation
Thy provision and...thy encouragement
Thy encouragment is what I need
Thy encouragment is what holds me
Thy encouragment is as if...
As if thou art present in spirit
Taking away the calamity
Restoring again my own poetry
Lord...
How blessed...
I repented that I shoud live
But...
Thy encouragement is what holds me
...thy encouragement
