May I ever remember
hope is for the needy.
May I ever remember
love is for the forlorn.
May I ever remember
desire is for those left without.
And may I ever remember
of those, I am all.

I had fallen farther
than I knew I could.
I had turned from He
whom I had thought I’d known.
Yet when I reached out,
a hand did take my own:
the Light of Christ
my ever faithful home.
