| My Special
Needs Forgive me, Lord, I'm so inclined
To
linger and to lag behind.
My will is weak, but even so,
My desire is strong;
I want to grow. Please help me, Lord, to make
my life
Improved, as mother and as wife,
But make me mainly meek and mild,
For
I want to be Your humble child. Give me character
and confidence.
I need some knowledge and some sense.
Now that I'm aging
I ask of Thee
A little spark each day of memory. Discernment
would be oh so nice,
Maybe half as much as Jesus Christ.
Then, Father, I
want to hear Your voice
Help me make the proper kind of choice. I
have, dear Lord, a special need
The desire now to want to read
That may
sound strange to just uncover;
Could dyslexia have been discovered? This
has been secret, my great fear,
To struggle with for all these years,
And
then You came and gave to me
The gift of writing poetry. You've
been good to me my whole life
There's so much I want to say to you,
Now
I know that You will not stop here,
That's why I trust You without fear. |
| Help
Me To Pray In Christ Help me to learn to pray
in Christ
So You can work through me.
Help me look at things not once, but
twice;
Let there be nothing I can't see. Help
me to miss not one small thing,
As life speeds before my eyes,
Help me to
grab that famed brass ring,
Life's merry-go-round surprise. Help
me to see and feel the pain
Of others; grant me compassion
To do it with
no thought of gain
To myself, in any fashion. You
have my heart, but it's no good
If it doesn't work for You in kind.
Help
me to think as Jesus would,
As you direct my mind. You
made me in Your image, Lord,
To do Your work on earth.
You didn't want me
ever to be bored,
For doing nothing creates no worth. |

| You Gave
Yourself For Me Oh Lord, I offer my soul to
you,
It isn't much, and it isn't new,
But it's all I have, and I give it
free,
Because You once gave Yourself for me. Oh
Lord, I'll do anything for You,
Yes, anything You ask me to do,
I will give
of myself so willingly,
Because You first gave Yourself for me.
I
am wholly Yours in every way,
I recommit my life to you each day,
I put
my life into Your hands,
Though I may not always understand. I
give You Lord my everything,
You're not only God; you are my King,
You have
given me a glorious ministry,
But You gave freely first, Your life for me. |
