Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall.
(Isaiah 64:6; NLT).
1. Lord,
I’m like an autumn leaf,
My bones are only dust,
Yet I am yours for evermore,
My God, in whom I trust.
2. Lord,
I’m like a fragile jar,
My mind is only clay,
Yet you are mine eternally,
My God, who cares each day.
3. Lord,
I’m like a morning mist,
My heart is only dew,
Yet I am yours for evermore,
My God, so great and true.
4. Lord,
In birth, in life, and death,
My soul remains your home,
For you are mine eternally,
And I am yours alone.
🤎
My beloved is mine and I am his.
(Song of Songs 2:16; NIV).

This a beautiful dedication Ruth!
Thank you so much, Alan. I think I wrote it on the day I had my pain treatment, despite (or perhaps because of), all the pain, morphine and codeine. God is truly amazing. May He bless you and all your family today. With love from Ruth xxx
