There is a reverence that comes
It over whelms you when you feel it
It is a feeling like no other
And not a feeling you often share
For the presences of the Lord is not shared
It is not often shared when people convene
When you feel it you know it
And makes you act and acknowledge
For with such grace must be shown gratitude
I did not see him coming
But the feeling was very real
I turned to see just who it was
To find my friend, my servant
One who loves and helps me
Along my path I take
It is this respect that came from
A mutual love we share
Having called upon him persistently
Touched by the Lord Himself as we met
Each time been blessed with care
To know he is there when I call
Gives comfort and settles my fears
For this is what I live for
I am able to call Home and speak
Talking to Father and asking to come
Yet being told to wait and work hard
With the care and spirit of His servant
This answer to wait is made simple
This one made me cry. I am sure there are many moments in your life when you feel it is time to "go home" - I have felt that way myself, and I don't deal with nearly the quantity of issues that you do.
