From Here

Why did God make me? First, that I should know
Him and His spiritual life He gives me free,
next to serve Him and His wherever I go,
then on to heaven from here to eternity.

God loves me and I’ll never dream how much
and how He wishes I love Him back too,
He wants me by my prayers to stay in touch,
no matter where from here to Timbuktu.

Since God commands me, I must say I will
commit to Him my life and my self whole,
to pray and speak to Him, and then be still,
and listen well from here inside my soul.

From my perspective, Lord, I shall not fear
to know and love and serve You now from here.
