When I feel forsaken
In my greatest moments of despair,
I yearn to feel You near me,
I wonder if You are there.
I know You are watching,
And whispering for me to know:
To know your strength to conquer,
Some moments you have to face alone.
I understand, it has to be so,
I conquered mine at Calvary long ago.

I give you my
patience
That you might follow
your path;
I give you my
understanding
That you might love
you more;
I give you my
forgiveness
That you might learn
to love;
I give you my
tolerance
That you might grow;
I give you my wisdom
That you might have
courage.
I give you my witness
Of the fountain of it
all
In whom if you
believe,
You will never fall.
From my heart to
yours;
Forever more
Because a heart can
give no more.

(Art: Mother in Zion by Greg Sargent)
You stood in the vista of my heart
Granting me the wider view
My eyes were opened
And I understood the meaning of You.
You came to this plane of sorrow
Your footsteps to pave the trail
And make all things anew;
I follow, I follow
Gathering drops of You.

I wish I could be grateful
For every fallen tear
And accept my trials
Without a trace of fear.
But what would life be
Without the love notes sent
From heaven’s gilded gates
And written by Your pen.
