A Prayer of Plea

Lord I have come again with my never ending plea for Direction
Lord I have come again, holding the helm of your garment
Lord I have come again, asking another favor, seeking respite
Lord I have come again knowing you will never tire of me
I chose to come to this place, I pleaded to seek these shores
You gave me my heart's desire, I knew not the enormity of my quest
This place is a wilderness, this place is a dungeon, cold and damp
I am all alone in this festering habitat, I am dismayed
I know that in all things I should see your hand, your face, your touch
Right now Lord I do not lie, I feel alone, afraid, aghast
Come to me in this dark night of my soul and let your light shine
Give me the strength to go on in the power of your name
Let me follow your direction even when it seems bizarre
Let me find joy, peace and faith within me
Lord I come again because I am loosing touch
I am loosing the grip I had before or the grip I thought I had
Lord I may have said it so many times, but I say it again take me back
Take me to where my joy will return, to where I will see your face again
If it be your will Lord I will stay, for to do your will is my ultimate aim
But if not Lord, take me where yo know I will feel the light of your countenance
Where I will touch your flock, feed your sheep and still be happy
Nevertheless I say again, Let your perfect will be done.
Lord I come again, I come to seek your face
Lord, I COME AGAIN, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ
AMEN
