Prayer Of Love
by louis ganderhttp://www.ganderpoems.org
Dear Lord and Savior, hear my prayer -
help me comprehend and share...
...please touch my eyes, that I might view -
in ways a blind man might see You...
...please touch my ears, that I might learn -
in ways a deaf man might discern...
...please touch my nose, that I might smell -
Your perfumes where Your flowers dwell...
...please touch my lips, so I can speak -
so bravely bold, yet also meek...
...please touch my feet, without delay -
so I can walk - what others say...
...then touch my hands, that I might show -
Your awesome works to souls below.
...and touch my heart, from there above -
so I can give, and others love.
Amen.
