Talking to God
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Continue steadfastly in prayer,
Being watchful with thanksgiving;
Trials and tribulations share,
Being grateful for your living.
Pray for your sisters and brothers,
That God may open up a door;
To declare Jesus unto others,
Mysteries of why you adore.
Let me make it clear as I speak,
So that I make it manifest;
For everything that I will seek,
To know what I should do is best.
Walk in wisdom toward outsiders,
Of those without to mend their time;
Tearing down the wall dividers,
That would be concealing their crime.
Let your speech always be gracious,
Seasoned with salt so you may know;
Never in sounding audacious,
Rather glory of God to show.
