God I Need Thee

GOD I NEED THEE.

When morning crowds the night away
And tasks of waking seize my mind;
I need Thy poise.

GOD I NEED THEE.

When love is hard to see
Amid the ugliness and slime,
I need Thy eyes.

GOD I NEED THEE.

When clashes come with those
Who walk the way with me,
I need Thy smile.

GOD I NEED THEE.

When the path before me lies,
I see it...courage flees-
I need Thy faith.

GOD I NEED THEE.

When the day's work is done,
Tired, discouraged, wasted,
I need Thy rest.

~Howard Thurman(Deep is the Hunger)

Especially thinking of my cousin Gabe, as he is in the midst of the war in Iraq once again.
