Lord Have Mercy On Me

Lord have mercy on me and I promise to pay attention and listen to THEE.

I was walking along on a pathway one finely beautiful day and came across a tree. The tree with a bounty of wispy leaves spoke to me as it wanted me to act breezy like THEE. It said to me, "Don't worry about where you go or what you see because everything will be rightly when you pay attention and listen to me. You certainly won't know which way to go, either this way or that way, but if you pay attention and listen to THEE, you will know which way to go whichever way the wind blows. You will be guided by THEE and go through life breezy and free as can be."

Lord have mercy on me and I promise to speak and pray to THEE.

Then, I walked on to another pathway, you see, and came across a bush. It was a burning bush set out of control wild while aflame and afire. It said to me, "Don't be like me out of control while aflame and afire with not a care for any refusing to be put out all the days of life. I had my chance to be cool as can be, but I couldn't control them desires burning within me and found myself past the point of rightly return to THEE. Now you listen to me and douse your out of control burning aflame and afire ways and desires so you can be cool as can be and set free from what you see in me!"

Lord have mercy on me and I promise to follow and look up to THEE.

I walked down the pathway again a little ways and came upon a brook. The brook said to me, "Be like water like me! Be fluid and free just like the tree and learn from the bush aflame and afire and douse your burning desires. Take a page from what you see and be like the water flowing from me. Whether you go this way or that way, your life will go the rightly way, you'll see! Be like water and you will be free as can be."

Lord have mercy on me and I promise to take care of everything I see created by THEE.

Finally, I came to another and last path and almost tripped over a rock. The rock spoke to me to say, "Pay attention now and do not be stubborn like me. Be breezy and free like the tree, be cool like that bush once was and not out of control aflame and afire with desires, go with the flow and fluid like the brook can always be, but do not be stubborn like me like a rock will always be. Up till now, your life was going out of control and wild with aflame and afire and all the while you couldn't help yourself tripping each and every day you came into being. You'll see! Those other three that you met have now told you how to be. Change your ways and choose another pathway that is straight and narrow but just wide enough for you and He to walk side by side and He will set you free! Just you wait and see! It will be GLORY BE FOR YOU AND THEE!

Lord have mercy on me as I go down the rightly pathway with THEE so this life you chose to fit on me, I dedicate to THEE.
