Take me Father

Take me Father

A Poem by Don Shaw
"

Sometimes our hearts grow weak. Our spirit may lack. The one who has All power is always near.

"
                   

     Take Me Father

                         Take me Father, and lift me high.
                         My eyes are burning, from the tears i cry.
                         Take me Father, and lift me high.
                         My breath is weak, from the endless sighs.
                         HALLELUIAH  FATHER LIFT ME!
                         HALLELUIAH  FATHER LIFT ME!
                         HALLELUIAH  FATHER LIFT ME!
                         and restore all my strength .

                         Take me Father, and lift me high.
                         My arms are aching , from endless days.
                         Take me Father, and lift me high.
                         My feet are throbbing , from walking away.
                         HALLELUIAH  FATHER LIFT ME!
                         HALLELUIAH  FATHER LIFT ME!
                         HALLELUIAH  FATHER LIFT ME! 
                         and restore all my strength.

                         As He reaches down, to gently lift me,
                         radiant smile from ear to ear.
                         I hear Him softly whisper......shhhhhh i love you.
                         I see a drop , of a compassionate tear.

                         TAKE MY HAND , MY PRECIOUS CHILD !
                         TAKE MY HAND , MY PRECIOUS CHILD !
                         TAKE MY HAND , MY PRECIOUS CHILD !
                         For i never let YOU go.

I love this poem It's so full of faith. It's encouraging. It's uplifting. For when we feel weak, God is there to carry us in his shoulders. Remembering the song "Footprints in the Sand".
