All You Want Me To Be
by
Pearlie Duncan Walker

Lord, each day I live ~ let it be for you ~ from my heart.
I know there is not a lot of time ~ on this old, earth 'til we part.
We've been so blessed ~ in all you gave us Lord, each child...
A good Father and Mother to teach us ~ so sweet and mild.
Help me, Lord ~ to finish what you have given me to do...
In this old world. Let me teach my offsprings too.
Along "with their Dad and Daddy Bill," we will make it there
As we look, to the sweet Heavens ~ and bow our heads in Prayer.
I look at the wondrous ~ starlight at night, and begin to wonder...
About Thy power and Grace. And, know you will never put us asunder...
But, bring us to that running river of life ~ so sweet and nigh.
The river of life ~ and the wondrous fountain ~ there, that never runs dry.
It's our goal, to look forward to ~ to be in Heaven there, with Thee.
Help us to appease, help us to please ~ as Thou would have us be.
Keep us under Thy wing Lord ~ as with her chicks ~ doth the mother hen.
Bring us to the ultimate place, of Bliss that we've never been...
But, so looking forward to the gathering there with Thee most of all.
And, with Thy Blessings ~ on our dear, loved ones, come to call.
Knowing this is forever in Thy loving sight ~ Thy sweet grace...
And someday yonder in the twinkling of an eye ~ we'll see Thy face.
