Abiding

                                          Abiding

You see I only like me, when I'm with you,

Walking and chatting all the day through.

Cleansing my heart with the truth of your word,

Longing for the day that the  trumpet is heard!

Each new day, I long to start,

Meditating on Psalms, the songs from the heart.

In quietness and stillness, to start the day,

Precious moments with you, to read and to pray.

One thing that I pray above them all.

Is help me to love you, more and more.

As my anxious mind flitters, from this and to that,

Help me filter and focus, right where we are at!

Even when I think I am right, I am wrong!

It is only with you, that I can stay strong.

It is good to know your the most faithful friend.

And that, you are holding my hand, right to the end!
