Dear Lord,
I want to say, on this random day,
how much I love You. How much I fear You,
how much I need You.
I pray for a companion on this wicked, evil earth.
I ask for someone to ease my hurt.
I pray for friends to enhance my life.
I pray for love to end my strife.
I pray for forgiveness
for all that I've done in spite of You.
I ask for free time, so that I can find something to do.
I pray for patience in my heart.
I pray for peace at Davidson Fine Arts.
I ask for understanding when there's no one who will listen.
I pray for the inner light to make the shadows of my soul glisten.
I pray for salvation, though I know that it is given.
I pray repentence for all the acts that were sin-driven.
I pray for redemption, and for more people to be saved.
I pray that they will believe despite how they behaved.
I ask for the strength to live day to day.
I pray that I'll know what to say,
when something needs to be said,
and something needs to be done.
I pray that I'll know when to be serious and when to have fun.
I pray for those who died before me and those yet to come
while I live on this world.
I pray that they will not be hurled to the depths of hell,
but lifted to heaven, living eternity swell,
with the angels and archangels,
the clouds and the bells, and best of them all,
with You, Lord,
The Maker, Creator, Alpha and Omega,
Light of the World, Lord of Lords,
Messiah and The Word,
God of all that was, is, and will be,
and the best friend of a sinner.
I'm a believer in Christ Jesus, therefore, I'm a winner. Amen.
Ah! The warmth!
the sweetness and zing!
It sets me off into motion
too fast for eyes to see.
The sense of completeness inside
fills me and overflows,
with a surplus of vigor.
Too much sensation for ordinary humans;
It takes years of conditioning
In order to properly take it all in.
It fills me up, and keeps going,
Working harder than an ant,
Faster than a hummingbird,
And altogether complete.
My only fear of death
is being alone,
no one to love,
no one of my own,
no one to love me,
no one to care,
no one who wonders
how I fare
no friend to help me through the hard times
no companion to try to ease my mind,
no one to comfort,
no one to share my hurt,
my joy, my love, my dreams,
with no one around, it really seems
like I'm a dead cell,
wanderin' around in my own hell
looking for someone to hold close to me
someone who can help me see
what I want and what I need,
what I love and where I should be,
in the arms of the one I love,
and in the kingdom of God above.
