A poem that came to me one evening. I'm trying to let Him know I'm trying to listen.
Lord Have Mercy

Lord have mercy on my soul.
Your love and forgiveness is worth more than gold.
I try to be the best I can
But sin creeps in where ere I stand.

Lord have mercy on my soul.
Your love and wisdom I see unfold.
The words in stone will always be here
Upon my heart, I’ll hold them dear.

Lord have mercy on my soul.
Your love and protection is true, I am told.
No matter where I go each special day
Your arms surround me when I’m at work or play.

Lord have mercy on my soul.
Your love and presence cannot be sold.
To liars, atheists, rogues, or flimflam men
I feel you are near. Oh yes I can.
