LEST I FORGET

 

 

 

Dear Lord, If I begin to forget

 

let me not forget Thee

 

As I grow older

 

Dear Lord help me to see

 

As I become more slow

 

what causes me concern,

 

Is the things I may not know.

 

So many now afflicted

 

with alzheimers, and I fear

 

Will this become my fate also

 

as the later years are here.

 

Will I forget family and friends,

 

and forget who I am too.

 

Dear gracious Father God

 

Will I also forget you?

 

 

I tremble to just think

 

of things that might be then forgot

 

wouldnt life semed to be wasted Lord

 

If someday I remember you not.

 

If tomorrow brings no memory

 

and there is nothing I recognize

 

if my past has no remberance

 

and nothing is familiar to my eyes.

 

What if I no longer give you praise

 

for my lips have forgotten how

 

Forbit it Lord to let this happen

 

, so let me do it now.

 

If all that should happen

 

but your grace is all I can afford

 

Let your Holy Spirit whisper in my ear

 

that Jesus Christ is still my Lord.

 

If my memories pass into nothingness

 

one thing I finally will gain

 

the power to forgive those that hurt me

 

and forget in Jesus name.

 

Will I forget how you led me

 

along lifes passage ways

 

will I forget...I pray not

 

How you led me through all my days.

 

Will I forget you saved my soul

 

and cleansed me from my sin

 

Help me Lord, lest I foget

 

Your Holy Spirit dwells far and deep with in

 

If memory allows, only one reoccuring thought

 

Let it be your grace outpoured

 

Let me remember, So that I can speak

 

That I know that Jesus Christ is still Lord.

No More Tomorrows
 
 
 
 
There are no more tomorrows
There only are today's
When I make plans for my tomorrows
I miss out on planning for this day.
 
 
I can't look forward for my future
And let my present pass me by
I must live each moment fully
Why should I crawl when I can fly?
 
 
There are no more tomorrows
There are no yesterdays for me
I will not look ahead and worry
Or look back and shed a tear woefully
 
 
There are mysteries to solve today
And buried treasures I must find
I must catch each miracle that comes my way
And let today bring me peace of mind.

Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works
and glorify your FATHER,
who is in heaven.
