For My Lord


Oh! Dear Lord
you are my refuge in the storm,
a balm for my emotions that are torn,
amidst the deep wilderness,
your sweet cuckoo voice,
beckons me with tenderness,
your divinity is my venerable temple,
it fills my soul with happiness so ample.

your pure heart is my venerable temple,
it fills my soul with happiness so ample.

It is most fulfilling when one can fall back on someone in moments of sadness!
