A prayer for now

I am not the church

I am not the law

I am, for now, a man

I have a human heart

A heart given me by the Lord

I claim nothing for myself. I simply proclaim what is God's

I have nothing to say that God has not said to me, to you, to a world

The world is everywhere, in all time

The world exists as God exists

The world loves as God, the Father, loves the Son

We strive and I, too, strive

I am not ashamed

I am not alone

I fall

I fall forever

Until

Until he lifts me up

He is the Lord

The Lord of all

He will lift you up

We will be together, forever

He will lift you up

Just say, Lord, lift me up

Lord, do not forget me

Lord, I am sorry

Lord, I wish

Lord, I love

Lord
