Thy Will Be Done

"O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done." Matthew 26:42

Let my will turn to thee And my obedience made sure. Then I'll be able to see What I would ignore- Your Spirit's whisperings in my ear, The Spirit's quiet peace. I'll know you're ever near And will never cease.

Let my will turn to thee,

My obedience secure.

Help me to see

What I would ignore.

Help me to hear

Thy Spirit whispering.

I know you are near

Always listening.

[wordman]

you`re welcome

[emipoemi]

Bravo! Short but profound. Well done!

[LunarSong]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. This is one of my favorites that I've written. I revised it a little yesterday. Some of my others I feel need a lot of revision, but not this one. :)

[emipoemi]

it's definitely a keeper.

[LunarSong]

Thank you. I think I'll put up the revision now. I'll just add it underneath. Hopefully it's better.

[emipoemi]

The musicality of the first version is lost, but the power and profundity has been amped up big time with a new musicality! Well done!

[LunarSong]

Thank you. :) I'm so glad that you liked it!

you're welcome. :)

[Farrsight]

That's nice! I really like it. It makes you think, but at the same time has such a simple message! Great!

[LunarSong]

Thanks. My mom said I should submit it to The New Era.

[LunarSong]

Are you on your iPad or the computer?

[Farrsight]

My iPad. Why? ( I gave you a new request, so read it.) Esther doesn't have Internet on her Ipad, though.

[LunarSong]

I know, so I was wondering if you did. Okay, I'll read it.

[Farrsight]

Fanks! I mean it!

[LunarSong]

You're welcome

[PloughBoy]

Nicely done, Lunar Song. Short, concise and very to the point.

Good work.

[LunarSong]

Thank you :) I suppose things are shorter when your trying to sleep, and your brain won't shut up ;)

[PloughBoy]

I know the feeling, my friend. My muse is relentless. ;)

[LunarSong]

Yes, if only it would wait for more convenient hours though. ;P

[PloughBoy]

Yes...if only.

[Calibaster]

That was great! I really liked it!

[LunarSong]

Well thank you. :)

[Calibaster]

You're welcome. :)

[LunarSong]

Hey, should we start another long comment thing? Just not invite Starscraper to join.

[Calibaster]

Yeah, cause she got the last one. What the heck!?

[LunarSong]

I know!! And I would have gotten it if I were paying attention, I was fully planning on doing two to get it.

[Calibaster]

Me too. If I had to. But it was mine!!! :( So ... what number are we going to this time. I have to get off soon, we're starting home in 10 minutes (probably.)

[LunarSong]

I have no idea, not as far as 777 though... Have fun coming home.

[Calibaster]

333? no, no. I like 4 better, so 444. :)

[LunarSong]

Okay, sounds good.

[Calibaster]

Yisssssssss!

[LunarSong]

I thought you were driving home...

[Calibaster]

I will be in liiiiiikke ... a minute. I'm in trouble for staying on this long already, ... but we'll see. :) ;)

[LunarSong]

Haha, don't get in any more trouble on my account. (Mostly 'cause I'm supposed to be doing something else.)

[Calibaster]

ooooh, I seeee ... :) I won't we're leaving right about now. I'll start August and Kett, and if need be, continue Kett and August, ... but you do Cort and Dustin, it's just confusing me now. :)

[LunarSong]

Oh, okay, I'll write more on them, and I already started August and Kett... I'll look up stuff on Orion Slave traders then. Thank heaven for Trekkies who make long and strange websites. ;)

[Calibaster]

No kidding. Wait, ... what? I have to go now literally,so don't expect any answers soon. :/ sorry. Gotta go.

[LunarSong]

You know literally means figuratively now too?

[Calibaster]

Wait ... Wut?

[LunarSong]

Look up the word literally in the Oxford dictionary... online.

[Calibaster]

Okay ... ohmygosh, you're right, it does!

[LunarSong]

Yep. So sad, isn't it?

[Calibaster]

It kinda is.

[LunarSong]

Yep, they did it because the word is misused so often.

[Calibaster]

That's pretty sad.
