Oh Lord, let me claim
The gift You bless to me
One of a free will
In choosing what to be
I choose to be faithful
Of trust and not fear
I choose to be loving
Of everyone here
To be of the moment
Let Your joy surround
Compassionate, humble
Forgiveness abound
I choose to be holy
Often to pray
All that I receive
I choose to give away
I will fail these choices
I know this to be true
Let me be dependent
On the grace of You
Who are you Jesus
That I seek to find?
A mystery great
Of man and divine
Healer, consoler
Where wisdom is found
Hope of the lost
Turns the world upside down
Move out of the box
With truth to reveal
A friendship to grow
Please let You be real
Let go of perception
In prayer, may You just be
With transforming love
Found in humility
Path of mountains ascension
Stirring in still waters deep
Prayer of soul satiating
Dwelling in our Saviors keep
Surrounded in fragrance of silence
Lifted in a lofty breeze
Solitude found is conducive
A falling in a prayer of ease
Soothed in a field of grass swaying
Colors in soft petals sweet
The marvel of creations splendor
In way of our Lord to meet
Lost in the colors of sunrise
Drifting in horizons’ flow
Mystery found in Your Presence
Your wisdom to us You bestow
They seem a little strange
One in disarray
Just a lonely soul
One who’s lost their way
Can’t be around them
So mean and angry
Just a fearful person
In need of comfort be
They seem so cold
Keep something concealed
Just a wounded heart
That needs to be healed
They make the same mistakes
Source of such frustration
Just a broken human
In need of restoration
Outside and inside
Two views to see
For all of these things
Could be said about me
Two billion of the same
How can this world cope?
One Savior of the way
Of love, and peace and hope
Two empty chairs are waiting
With two souls to fill
One within the sharing
Of Spirit to fulfill
Two needing souls are waiting
A longing to relate
Way of God to share
Three to congregate
It has been prepared
Encounter here this day
Light of the reflecting
Ordained within the way
Will opportunity pass
Too busy to pursue
Focus our intention
For the seat awaits you
Awaken into
So much to do
Tasks on my list
Here this day
Recast my view
To water blue
Tranquility
Take me away
Let soul pursue
The Spirits’ hue
A drifting in
Turning to pray
Surrender ensue
A letting through
Fragrance of
Spirits bouquet
Something stirred within
You let the Spirit flow
It moved you to reach out
Offer of prayer, bestow
Moving of my heart
That you truly cared
Connection through our Lord
Of binding that we shared
To skip, it would be easy
But you knew what to do
You just didn’t say it
Committed, followed through
Gathered side by side
Words of such beauty
The Spirit flowed through you
And your prayer moved me
Your thoughtfulness remains
In this day anew
Filled with Spirits love
May it flow back to you
