MY PRAYER, by DOROTHY FILSON STEWART First Line: My god, in thee I put my trust Last Line: When work on earth is done. Subject(s): Prayer | ||||||||
My God, in Thee I put my trust; My God, to Thee I cling; And when my soul is merged in grief To Thee my cares I bring. I know that Thou will help me, Lord; With Thee I have no fears For You place sunshine in my heart When life seems dark and drear. How can I thank Thee, blessed Lord, For blessings that You give? Without Thee, God, I'd stumble, fall -- My life's not all to live. Oh, God, how can I do enough To show my faith in Thee? And still Thou givest me more and more -- Thou doest so much for me. One blessing more I ask, my God, And that You'd surely give: I ask for strength, dear Lord, to help My fellowman to live. Make me, dear Lord, an instrument With which Thy work is won; And let me be with Thee, dear God, When work on earth is done. | 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 |
