Lord, Let Me Be A Poet

Lord, let me be a poet
Please allow the world to see
The power to use your precious words
Is the gift you've given me.

Lord, let me have a voice
That through a pen shall speak.
Help lonely eyes to find my words
When a poet's words they seek.

Lord, send me needed graceful words
When such I cannot find.
Please bless the many flowing thoughts
Before they leave my mind.

When trouble makes a dangerous noise
And peace cannot be heard,
Please let the lost and lonely know
There's peace within my words.

Lord, let me be a poet
'Til the last day of my time.
Let my mind be filled with words
That are special and sublime.

Thank you for your Holy gift
That I shall use most every day,
For it shall never ever go to waste.
It's in my heart to stay.

Amen.
