1267

Why is it so difficult to say

Thank You, when you answer all my prayers?

For days I've moaned about your endless silence,

Bound up with depression and old cares,

But now, within this hour, you've sorted out

All the things I've thrown at you, as if

You've been so close I hardly needed think

Before you'd lavished on me every gift

Necessary to ensure that all

That I had asked has fallen into place -

With more - to quietly confirm that you

Have been there all the time and I was safe.

            I fly beneath the shelter of your wings

            Where Love alone such joy and bounty brings.
