Trust & Love

Make unconditional my trust in Thee,

Dear God.  A word of Thine doth say it plain.

A mantra I do choose, for this one key.

Yet trust be small before my love–mere grain

Compared to elixir that love for Thee

Doth bring.  I search for Thee in truth so long.

Perhaps both trust and love are needs for me:

Melodious refrain, the truth.  A song

Doth lift from out my heart when sing Thy praise.

To Thee in all sincerity I bow.

Thy trust and love in me doth fill my days.

Assurance Thou doth have in me, but how?

I fail, but Thou n’er fail:  Creation good.

So I doth merit truth and love–hope should!
