Morning prayer - lost sheep

Lord I don’t speak as you would have me

I don’t speak out of fear of rejection

I don’t speak for fear of mockery

I don’t because I worry I may lose my faith in you.

I have seen other lose the light you gave them lord

I have seen them reject your holy grace

Am I so different?

I am so strong compared to those?

Am I lost sheep in waiting?

Yes I know you would never stop loving me

Yes I know you would never stop pursuing me

But what If I stopped loving you?

What if I ran from you lord?

My faith must be weak – I have these doubts

My faith must be small for I fear losing it

My faith must be useless for it has brought no one to you lord

See Lord I art weak and they art mighty

I am faithless and they art eternally faithful  

I am worthless they art beyond worth

So if you have some time keep an eye on me lord

Keep your hand on my shoulder

Keep your spirit in me

Don’t let me lose your herd

Don’t let your light go out in me

Do this for your love of me

Do this in your endless mercy

Do this because your strength never fails

Do this please lord

Do this
