When I lift my eyes, my heart and my soul <br />In prayer to Thee, my God <br />I know Thy Presence is attending <br />As my soul seems to be ascending <br />Far and away from this earth's cares <br />And I know Thou art hearing my prayers. <br /> <br />Then all too soon I am ripped <br />And stripped <br />Back to earth again to be gripped <br />By woes here below <br />I wish it were not so <br />But here it is I must grow <br />Even though <br />By faith I know <br />I shall again ascend <br />and descend <br />Until Thou callest me <br />To be with Thee <br />Throughout <br />All <br />Eternity. <br /> <br /> <br />© Mel Patterson,2-27-09<br /><br />Carmela Patterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/until-thou-callest-me/
