Oh Lord, My God

Here's a little poem/song lyrics that I started way back on my mission and just recently finished up the last stanza.

Oh Lord, My God, as I struggle through this pain

I feel the need to ask, is it really for my gain

and I think of Lehi, and I think of Alma too

and remember that like me, prayer is all they had to do

they cried, Oh Lord, My God, my son has gone astray

in this dark and dreary world, he has simply lost his way

As he wanders this night, in the darkness all alone

I pray that thou wilt help him, find his way back home

I plead, Oh Lord, My God, Where’s the lesson for  me?

is it to help me, gain understanding of Thee?

and how thou must have felt, when Thy son rebelled on High

choosing to fall from grace, and eternally to die

Oh Lord, My God, how did thou stand the pain?

The earth must have been flooded, as thy tears fell down like rain

and then sent thine other son, to die for my son’s sin

that through choices he might triumph, the victory to win

Oh Lord, My God, thou whose love know no bounds

whose mercy and compassion, are one eternal round

I thank the this night, for the comfort of my soul

and pray through thy grace, that my son may be made whole
