Poetry
In The Wings Of My Life
There are people, Lord,
who are standing in the wings of my life –
waiting . . . and watching . . .
They are listening
to the things that I say I believe.
They are watching for what I say I believe
to be demonstrated in the life that I live.
Let me not stand in the way
of Your Love and Grace in their lives.
Live in what I think and say and do.
I want to be Your person, Lord,
Even in the Testing-Times of my life.
I want to stay with You
even when everyone else
moves in another direction.
Underneath the mask of me,
I know
I don’t have to be cool with You, Lord.
I came to You with nothing,
needing all that You can give.
And You Gave!
You continue to Give!
Freely!
I found my identity in You . . .
and with the privilege of that identity,
responsibility that says:
Don’t Run. Tough it out. I am with you.
Don’t let your lifestyle
depend up the crest of the wave.
Help me to be Your person, Lord.
Help me to do whatever You Will commands –
trusting every time, every moment,
every situation of my life to You.
Place within my being a calmness of spirit –
a contentment even when things don’t go my way.
Fill me with the gentleness of Your Spirit
and with self-control.
Help me, with an undiminished faith,
to pursue Your Way with diligence
rather than give in to the moment’s mood.
Satiate me with humility
that my life may seek not to display its merits.
In humbleness, let me live
that Your Grace and Your Love may overflow
into the lives of those who are
living in the wings of my life –
waiting and watching
for what I say I believe
to be demonstrated in the life that I live
that the Glory which floods my soul
May praise All that You Are!
and All that You Shall Be!
