and hear me please
for I feel poor and pitiful
with none to trust
but You.
Keep my soul safe, O God,
for I am faithful.
Save me to serve You.
Answer my all-day call
with Your grace and mercy.
To You I lift my mind,
my will, my spirit,
and You raise my soul on high!
For You are kind
and eager to forgive
all who call on You.
O Lord, I give You
the voice of my plea
for You will hear
and answer.

Lovely poem and prayer. Thank you, Mary Harwell Sayler, for the beautiful words of joy and comfort.
God bless you for taking time to read and respond.
Google+ just sent me word that another reader shared this post, which got my attention to read it again myself! Who knew it was meant for me?
