INTERCEDING, by OPAL LEONORE GIBBS First Line: I dreamed the saviour came to be Last Line: Every day. Subject(s): Jesus Christ; Prayer | ||||||||
I dreamed the Saviour came to be My Guest awhile; My home was hallowed by His word, His gracious smile. At evening in the chamber there He went alone; I listened breathlessly to hear An undertone That thrilled my very soul because It held my name! Oh, was it all an empty dream? Nay, just the same As if within that little room I heard Him pray, He brings my need before the Father Every day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN LISTEN, LORD: A PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRAY by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS WE WHO PRAYED AND WEPT by WENDELL BERRY PRAYERS AND SAYINGS OF THE MAD FARMER by WENDELL BERRY THE GAMBOLS OF CHILDREN by GEORGE DARLEY PANDOSTO, THE TRIUMPH OF TIME: IN PRAISE OF HIS BEST-BELOVED FAWNIA by ROBERT GREENE |
