While Yet I Live

O God, while yet I live, I hope and care,
I still can make a difference in their lives,
I can remember them in awesome prayer,
I still can 'til eternity arrives.

When they are far away what can I do?
My words like flies just buzzing in their ears,
with no one else I know I can turn to,
except the faithful One Who waits and hears.

O God, You have the power to work Your way,
there's no bureaucracy to come between,
today I pray that You today may say,
according to Your will, You'll intervene.

So, Christ, I pray and do not have to see,
all blest, I but believe in what will be.
