PRAYER

Carry me upon your soul,
Hold me close to make me whole.
Gather me beneath your wings,
Speak to me of tender things.
Lift my heart up with your love,
Shower blessings from above.
Be my light when darkness reigns,
Relief for sorrows and for pains.
Bless my life with peace and joy,
Abundant life, may I enjoy.
Hear my deepest, dark despair,
Tell me just how much you care.
Let me know that if distressed,
You will always give me rest.
When I come to you for peace,
May my sorrows swiftly cease.
Keep me ever by your side,
In your presence to abide.
Always lift me when I'm low,
Oh Lord ~ don't ever let me go.
