(Fall 1998)
Let me come near and touch your face,
Then I will know that you are.
You made the world and I am in awe.
Incline to me.
Light the spark of my understanding.
Try me and test my strength.
Help me grow in spirit
And honor those who came before
And be fully the person you created.
When trials come, cover me and those I love
With your Word that will make us wise.
When I walk the path that narrows
Hold out your hand and I will come to where you are.
