REMIND ME, LORD

~ Sowmya Gali

Remind me, Lord, reason You gave eyes

Lest they look at world around in vain

Eager to walk on path that leads into vice

Focused on You, they must always remain.

Remind me, Lord, reason You gave knees

Lest these praying knees get lazy

Tossing about aimlessly on billowing seas

On bended knee alone is garnered victory.

Remind me, Lord, reason You gave heart

Lest it gets occupied by others

Breaking easily when things fall apart

With You inside, nothing on earth bothers.

Remind me, Lord, reason You gave feet

Lest they’re carried away with world’s flow

Never finding rest until I am beat

Walking with You, life seems a beautiful show.

Remind me, Lord, reason You gave lips

Lest they speak words of unkindness

Hurting others with vain gossips

Sing I must, songs of Your greatness.

Remind me, Lord, reason You gave life

Lest looking back at a wasted lifetime

Filled with moments of regret and strife

Worthy if spent in Your presence all the time.
