Dear Lord

Dear Lord(A Ghazal)

You make the darkness bright dear Lord                     
You chase away the night, dear Lord                     

With you I know that I can soar     
Above the mountain’s height, dear Lord

I have no fear when you are there 
My life you expedite,* dear Lord

You raise me up, you comfort me 
You show me what is right, dear Lord 

You are my strength and my succour
You’re with me in my plight dear Lord 

My sins I beg that you’ll forgive,
When I stand in Thy sight dear Lord

*make easier

Rhythm - 8-8
Refrain - dear Lord
Rhyme - bright, night, height, expedite, right, plight, sight.
