Work Poem 9/7/10

A little bit of background... I worked on two consecutive days, shifts of 12+ hours each. I wrote this yesterday, the third consecutive day, at the beginning of a 14 hour shift. I was just asking for help because I was tired.


Lord give me strength
To make it through the day,
Lord, I need you by my side
Cuz it's the only way.

Exhausted, tired and weary
I come to the fountain to drink,
Renew me Lord and give me rest
Because I am on the brink.

You are great, mighty and glorious
You're worth more than i could give,
Your grace, your love, your mercy
Is what I need to live.

Give me joy, peace, and patience
A passion, a burning flame,
Change my heart and make me new
So I can spread your name.
