Lord, Prepare My Thoughts For Writing!

Lord, prepare my thoughts for writing Enough to make it so And enough to be enlightening For other folks to know... With memories that come to mind And characters that grow, To share the lessons I might find When I am in full flow... Lord, prepare my heart for writing Enough to bless my friends And enough to be nail-biting If trying for suspense... With TV scenes in my mind's eye Played out until each ends, So that I write these by and by So each soul comprehends... Lord, prepare my dreams for writing Enough to find release And enough with truth providing The path that leads to peace... With hope in Heaven rising, For wonders never cease, So there is no disguising Eternal mysteries... For what is Man that he should write, Except God wants this done? From whom comes wisdom and insight, Except the Holy One? When life is finished, words remain Although our race has run, All secrets then, God can explain, Through Jesus Christ, His Son...
