Sweep me up in warmth and comfort
Help me carry daily care
Dry the tears I shed too often
When I wake and no one’s there.
Give me work; I would be useful
Though some tasks I cannot do
Brain, not body, is in order
Show me Lord, I would serve You.
How to help the poor and homeless
And protect a child with care
Feed the hungry, help the dying
All this I’d do if You declare.
Paying bills is no distraction
Pension not enough to share
So what to do and how to do it
You alone know that I care.
Maybe there’ll be no tomorrow
Maybe today will be my last
Strength from You I need to borrow
Just for today; That’s all I ask.
Wyn Barratt.
July 2011.
