A poem I wrote sitting in the sun on July 31, 2023 in the midst of an incredibly hard and life-changing season of my life. May you be blessed and encouraged!
Carry Me Lord
Carry me Lord
In your everlasting arms
Above the waves
Of the stormy sea
I see your love oh Lord
In your Word so evident
But far short I fall
In believing your love for me
But in you oh Lord I place my trust
In you my God I place my life
Give me the faith to surrender all
That I might see your glory
Your grace, mercy, and truth
Your lovingkindness so magnificent
And believe and know it for myself
As you lift me up above the waves
And carry me close to your heart
Far above the raging sea
Of the trials of this life
Draw me near to you
Precious Jesus
And as by faith
I come into your arms
To abide in your loving embrace
Show me the wondrousness
Of abiding forever in your glorious presence
My Jesus, my God, my Lord, my refuge, my shelter, my forever King!
I love you Jesus! Amen!
