Wonderful Touch

All that is contained in the earth,
And all which remains without--
Everything that God has made,
Is His, without a doubt!!!

My God created time and life;
When nothing did exist--
He made something out of nothing,
From the fingers of His fist.

Why is He so mindful of us,
So unworthy and so small,
To take such an interest in us--
And to know the affairs of all?

Blessed be our wonderful Lord!
Who loves, cares, and helps so much
He did lay His life down for us
His life--yours and mine, did touch!!!

Teach Me

Teach me, Lord, to do thy will
For thou art truly my God,
Search me, Lord, you know my heart,
Teach me to receive the rod.

Teach me how to take pleasure
In all my troubles and strife,
For then when I become weak,
Your strength gives me life.

Teach me, Lord, to always love,
Fervently with a pure heart,
To conduct love toward the brethren,
And that with willing heart.

Teach me how to sing to Thee,
And how to bless thy name;
Let me kneel to my Maker,
And tell him my sins with shame.

Teach me, Lord, to want knowledge
And to seek virtue and work,
To speak without vanity,
And avoid evil that lurks.

Teach me to have good conscience,
Let me draw dear to You,
For then when I die and go,
I want to be with you.
