I Need You

Father help me endure,
not settling for second best.
Not just put into any port
as I sail through the tempest.

Father give me strength
to combat the Evil one.
To live righteously
as your servant, as your son.

Father fill my heart with courage
to stand strong against fear.
Finding boldness to move forward
while the shadows draw near.

But above all, I need Your grace,
I need Your mercy, I need your love.

Amen.

Dreams

Again You stir up my dreams,
and cause distress in my rest.
You bombard my unconscious,
rattling my very thoughts.
Now, I'm left with the question,
"What am I to do?"

A thousand thoughts fill my mind,
a thousand faces come in and out.
These pictures run left and right,
let loose to run rampant and free.
Did you try and talk to me?
I have no idea... help me.

Amen.
