If I Could Stay

Father ~~~

To awaken in peace,

To hear the rustle of the trees blowing

To see Your sun rising

In this silence

There is only You

Oh, that I could stay

Here in this Holy Place

That I could sit with You

To let the clock wind down till the day is done

The setting of the sun

To still be sitting here with You

I must go, You say

Go to accomplish what You have for me

I must go and continue

To places of struggle and unknown

I shall face fear and enemies

I shall empty myself

In these hours to come

Then when the day is done

I shall return to Your Presence

In the darkness of night

I shall be….
