Poetry
Half-way through the day
With so much left undone;
I’m tired and I’m tempted
To quit what I’ve begun.
Bowed ‘neath expectations
Of what I ought to be..
Falling short again, I feel
Like I’ve run out of me.
Oh, Lord, please be my strength
When I cannot go on.
Battles I cannot fight
You have already won.
My legs are too weary
Another hill to climb..
At the end of my strength
Almighty Lord, be mine.
With the shadows of the night
Fear and folly arise;
Filling a weary mind
With their accusing lies.
Loneliness chills the heart
‘Till faith and hope seem fled..
With every "how?" and "why?"
Despair and doubt are fed.
Oh, Lord, please be my faith
When my courage is gone;
Drawing me unto You
When I cannot hold on.
Cradled like an infant,
Knowing I will be fine,
Courage to cure the coward..
Eternal One, be mine.
Seems the longer I live
The less I understand.
I’m bemused and confused
Without a path or plan.
I know that where I am
Is not where I want to be..
But how to get there from here
Is far from clear to me.
Oh, Lord, be my wisdom.
All answers lie in You.
As a shepherd leads his sheep,
Your word will guide me through.
And when my path seems dark
You are the Light that shines.
Source-spring of all wisdom;
Merciful One, be mine.
Wallowing in self-pity
My eyes are turned on me.
My wants, my will, my needs
Are all that I can see.
If there is any love
Within this heart of mine,
It’s buried beneath mountains
Of work and chores and time.
Oh, Lord, please be my love
When I am at an end,
For though You are our God
You want to be our friend.
Make my life a window
Through which Your heart can shine.
You are Love unending…
Blessed Savior, be mine.
