In the Red Sky Days

If I ever told you, how I am made alive in your presence
You have known my trust in you, Holy One, I do repent
I've lived in deserts, alive only by grace of your holiness
With no place that I call my home, my many sins I own
I stare into the sky, and raise my hands, call your name
The horizons all burn red, as our days have grown few
I trust in you, you are my king, the world is untamed
But I have you, I have a King who saves and is true

“Remind yourself once more of the absolute
holiness of your task." Theodore Roethke
