LENTEN MUSINGS, by                    
First Line: I am; my maker made me
Last Line: But I will trust and pray.
Subject(s): God; Lent; Obedience; Religion; Theology


I am; my Maker made me,
He gave me life and soul,
Thought of me when the world began—
An atom in His mighty plan
To help complete the whole.

I can do all He asks me;
He never asks for more
Than I can give if I but try—
The strength I need He will supply
If I for help implore.

I must be true and faithful;
Be clean and pure in mind,
Be always thoughtful, sympathize,
Be merciful, not criticize,
Be bountiful and kind.

I will give thanks each morning
For His care day by day;
Do what our Father asks of me
Though through the veil I cannot see,
But I will trust and pray.
