Comfort Jesus

At the dawning of each day 

I kneel beside my bed and pray 

“Oh, Lord, comfort me”

-

He makes me realize

That life is made worth living

Only in the giving

-

Then I pray “Lord let me comfort you”

By some small act of mine today

Let me give to someone, near

Or far away, some comfort

-

Lest my life should pass me by

Without my giving 

Without it’s being worth living

-
