Standing Watch




















Oh Lord, I’ve been on watch so long;
I’m weary, heart and soul,
I need to feel your healing love,
The love that makes me whole.

My job is to keep watch on those
Whom you’ve placed in my care,
But I am stretched so thin right now
I have no strength to spare.

I don’t intend to fail in this,
The task you’ve given me,
But I fear I am losing much
Of whom I need to be.

I’ll stand my watch and serve in faith
As you’ve asked me to do,
But, Lord, I ask you for the strength
I’ll need to see it through.
