GOD knew that everyone needs Companionship and cheer, He knew that people need someone Whose thoughts are always near. He knew they need someone kind To lend a helping hand. Someone to gladly take the time To care and understand. GOD knew that we all need someone To share each happy day, To be a source of courage When troubles come our way. Someone to be true to us, Whether near or far apart. Someone whose love we'll always Hold and treasure in our hearts.
Father it's me that dwell in a place of despair and with little hope. Father it's me that my children cry out for help and love. Father it's me in the middle of a raging and unforgiving storm. Father it's me that has been wrapped in love some many times, perhaps many times undeserving. Father it's me that has fallen from the broken and battered sidewalk. Father it's me that You have graced and shielded from a world of sin. Father it's me that gave up and almost quit. Father it's me that You gave directions to clear both my heart and mind. Father it's me that blessed and sheltered from the wolf dens of life. Father it's me that You walked with me and my love ones in the many roaring storms of sadness. Father it's me that You gave a song, and it is I that must teach my children to obey. Father it's me that must journey near and far in trust and with love that You will never leave my side. Father it's me because of You, as I must glorify thy name. Father remember it's me that You made and keep to task and on course. Amen and amen.
