COMMUNION, by                    
First Line: When just a little miss of ten
Last Line: With golden minutes spent with him.
Subject(s): Worship


When just a little miss of ten
I gave my heart to God, and then
Sought altar silence at a tree --
Excluding all but God and me.

Beneath the leaves some coins I spied;
My wants became diversified.
I kept on praying to my God --
Praying for coins upon the sod.

Each day did I humbly commune,
And hoped to find my fortune soon.
I wondered why God did not bare
More coins around my place of prayer.

Since twenty years have now gone by,
I know coins were beneath that sky --
Coins that bought an immortal gem
With golden minutes spent with Him.
