… with us

---

Oh God, we love to work

down here with you today.

We do not want to shirk

the part you gave (to play)

to us, though immature,

and mostly ignorant;

we see that He was sure,

and trusted where you sent

for Him to be, and do

and watched about for you,

your work was his perfume,

knew when you're in the room.

As you yourself had said,

you're … with your people and,

you'll not leave them to tread

the path alone… at hand.

So he could "know" as you,

and act as you would do,

to bring your kingdom here

within his body - near!

Oh God your job was done

so beautif'lly in him,

to show us what a son

could do, when not "his whim",

but steadfastly, and sure,

would trust his father to

look after him, and more,

would always be with you.
