THIS YEAR AD (2012ff)
This year my God, I'm growing
in your grace, & life & love,
in thoughtfulness & knowing,
"in" the one come from above.
Lord Jesus, I'm glad you came,
& now glad you've gone away!
You knew my weakness & shame,
so sent your spirit to stay.
Where I need my deepest growth,
(as body grows the weaker)
is in spirit & will, both,
so, things don't look the bleaker!
My propensity is clear -
to seize upon what's "concrete";
part is need (so you came here),
& part weakness (you're discrete)...
You've sent us your own spirit
to infect us with your love
of truth, & folk, (I hear it)
and of the ONE above.
