Here in your hand
How safe I am,
Almighty God,
At your command.
Well or ill,
Just as you please,
Loving you,
And praising still.
So may I stay
To serve you, Lord,
And pray to you
All night and day.
Here may I dwell
At one with you,
Your temple, Lord,
Where all is well.

I wanted to share this beautiful poem with you. Ruth Kirk is a poet who writes prayer-poems in the Celtic tradition. Over to Ruth and her blog …
Goodness! I’m overwhelmed! Thank you for this XXXXXXXXXX
I’ve often wanted to re-blog your posts, Ruth, but I would end up with more your writing than my own. 😂. Sometimes something is too wonderful to keep to myself though. x
That made me smile and chuckle, but sadly, too. Probably one of the kindest things anyone has ever said to me! XXXXXX
I don’t believe that for a minute Ruth. ☺ x
Honestly, I wouldn’t say it it if wasn’t true XXXXXX
