MY LOVE AT THY FEET

 

If I had the might to plant Thee in each heart

Of all that breathes,

In pursuit of such a quest I would walk the earth

With apparent ease.

As I can do so little this desire to meet,

I lay my loyal love at Thy holy feet.

MERCY

 

"And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind, and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he wil take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

"And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people....."

- (Alma 7:11-12)

Will You come and carry me
When all my strength is gone?
Will Your mercy spill from You
When I can walk no more?

Will Your love lift me higher
To glimpse my eternal home?
Will I see my soul there
Before Your gilded throne?

When the sum of my life is done
Will You bring me home to keep?
I'll want to kneel and honour You
Before your godly Mercy Seat.

TEARS AND FEATHERS

 

Before I left
You tried to tell me
Of the tears I would spill
But when I see a flying feather
I should surrender and be very still.

Now when a tear falls
I remember You,
My God and my King,
And I find Your loving comfort
In the shadow of Your wing.
