Only Forever

You are still faithful Lord, though we may fear.

What shall we do? Are You really near?

How we must hurt You when doubts rule the way

What have we done? What did we say?

Yes, You are with us Your Word tells us so

So why do we fear to trust You and let go?

All You have done for us was through Your love

We love You too little Lord as we yearn for above.

Today and down here we are ordained to be

Yet we keep calling out, "What about me?"

May our love grow much deeper and be bound up in trust

You are our leader and surrender we must.

So here Lord we yield to You both mind and heart

Knowing You love us and we’ll never part

Only forever, is time, in Your sight

Whether on earth or in Heaven so bright.

Wyn Barratt August 2012.
