Oh My Father

Oh my Father
I yearn for thee
I thirst for thee
I long for thy grace

Oh my Father
I question thee
I mistrust thee
I doubt thy goodness

Oh my Father
Give me faith
Give me hope
Give me trust

Oh my Father
Wipe my eyes
Dry my tears
Draw my heart

Oh my Father
I glimpse thee faintly
I love thee slightly
I need thee forever

Oh my Father
Overwhelm
Overpower
Overcome

Oh my Father
Make me to love thee

I in Nature

The wolf lifts his silver voice
To the moon and howls, alone
He is my brother

The moon shines in her fullness
Lonely in the night sky
She is my sister

The water glistens, undisturbed
By ripple or wave
I am as water

The stone is hard, unbreakable
By force or blow or pain
I will be stone

The owl floats aloft on
Whisper wings, silent in the night
She too is my sister

The sun shines fiercely, daring
An approach to his fiery rays
He too is my brother
