We Are Here

O Lord, let me join You five minutes a day,
so that Our Father may both of us see,
to help me pray in this unfailing way,
and have Our Father always answer me.

Let me, O Christ, have all my sins forgiven,
when You and I together are with Him,
and with the Spirit enjoy a taste of heaven,
that by my sins and self seems rather slim.

O Jesus, may we just say, "We are here,"
 as You and I stand near Our Father's throne,
for with You there I know I need not fear
to be refused as when I stand alone.

O Lord Divine, I want You by my side,
where I hope to eternally abide.
