A PRAYER, by JOHNNIE RUTH KESSLER First Line: Take me, father, close to thee Last Line: All, oh father, all is thine. Subject(s): God; Prayer | ||||||||
Take me, Father, close to Thee. Fill me with Humility. Let me work from day to day; Teach me, Father, how to pray. With Thy Love enfold me now, May I Live! Oh teach me how! Abundant LIFE I seek from Thee, Open my Eyes, that I may See. Open my Ears, that I may Hear. Take away my every Fear. Lead me gently by the hand; Help me NOW to understand. Nothing that I have is mine, ALL, Oh Father, ALL is Thine. | 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 |
