Jesus, Jesus

Jesus, Jesus

Jesus Christ- thou child so

Wise bless my hands and fill

My eyes and bring my

Soul to paradise.

Lord, please fill my heart

With joy

May I be so bold as to ask

I’m no more worthy than

Others

It’s my nature to shirk

From an onerous task.

But, Lord, joy is not absence

Of sorrow

Nor indeed the avoidance

Of pain

But it’s knowing and feeling

Your presence

While turning (I’m growing) from madness

To sane

Oh Lord, give me hope in the

Valley

With my eyes and my ears

Fixed on you

Let my heart know in time

It will rally

As it heals and expands till

It’s new

Cross the plains to

The mountains and rivers

The horizons familiar yet new

Ah Lord, May my heart

Rest in joyful contentment

Relaxing in your holy peace

Oh Lord cast out fear and

Resentment

Let the cares of society cease

I’ll go down to the Valley

Of challenge

And I’ll seek for the

Children in need

Then we’ll frolic and play

As we romp through this

Day

Singing songs, giving praise

In thought, word and deed
