Limitless

Arlee C. Russell

 

 

I've wondered, Lord, how it can be

You hear me when I call.

I'm only one of millions, and

Your love is over all.

 

 

How can it be your holy ear

Is tuned to hear my cries?

How can you know what troubles me

And see tears in my eyes?

 

 

Do I presume too much when I

Approach your sacred throne,

And dare to think that I can spend

Some time with you alone?

 

 

Sometimes I am so weary I

Don't even want to pray.

I feel confused; things all look wrong-

I don't know what to say.

 

 

In quiteness and confidence,

I seek a place apart

And rest until I feel your spirit

Touch my trembling heart.

 

 

Although I cannot understand,

Somehow I know you've heard,

Like lovers who communicate

Without a single word.

 

 

Your are so great, I am so small;

I'm glad it is this way.

All things are possible with you;

You hear me when I pray.

 

 

Great God of all the universe-

In joy or in distress-

I rest myself in all you are,

For you are limitless!
