Dear Lord Poem by Randy McClave

Dear Lord enlighten what is dark in me
And then let me see,
Please show me that darkness
So, I might disperse of it in a harkness.

Strengthen what is weak in me
Then help me again be,
Please help me see my own weakness
So, that it won't become my meekness.

Please also mend what is broken in me
As I pray deeply unto thee,
Let me heal as I do mend
With these prayers I do faithfully send.

Please also bind what is bruised in me
That is my spiritual plea,
Please repair what has been bruised
Let my soul be not abused.

Please heal what is sick in me
What has caused my suffering and this apology,
As I sit alone and spiritual still
Please show me what has made me ill.

Please revive what has died in me
Especially the love and peace which now makes me empty,
Please help it to once again revive
I once again Lord, need to feel alive.

Please Lord thank you for listening to me
As my soul is cleansed by the sea,
To you Lord this is my plea and my prayer
As I know in me, you are always there.
