ACCEPT ME, MY LORD

Accept me, my Lord, accept me

for this while,

Accept me, my Lord.

Let those orphaned days that passed

Without Thee, be forgotten.

Only spread this little moment wide across thy lap,

Holding it under thy light.

I have wandered in pursuit of voices

That drew me, yet led me nowhere.

Now let me sit in peace and listen to thy words

In the soul of my silence.

Do not turn away thy face

From my heart's dark secrets,

But burn them till they are alight with thy fire.
