TAKE THIS MOMENT

Take this moment, sign and space;

take my friends around;

here among us make the place

where your love is found. 

Take the time to call my name,

take the time to mend

who I am and what I’ve been,

all I’ve failed to tend. 

Take the tiredness of my days,

take my past regret,

letting your forgiveness touch

all I can’t forget. 

Take the little child in me,

scared of growing old;

help him here to find his worth

made in Christ’s own mould. 

Take my talents, take my skills,

take what’s yet to be;

let my life be yours, and yet,

let it still be me.
