How Many Times Poem by Anthony Raymond

How many times - after falling once again
Can I call upon you Lord
How many times - will your mercy once again
Be bestowed upon me Lord
At the end of the road - no where else to go
I run back to you because in my heart know

When I call out your name - you answer me
Falling once again - upon my bended knee
I already know - you are my desire
I hear these words - that set my soul on fire

Get ready to be lifted up
I know you try - but life is tough
Get ready to be set free
Keep the fire of your desire - in me

Floating down white as snow - grace is sent you
Crystal clear as water - I'll wash your heart anew
If evil comes your way - I do prophesy
I shall cast them down - with lightning from on high

How many times - after falling once again
Will you lift me up Lord
How many times - will your mercy once again
Set my soul free Lord
At the end of time - when you call my name
Ill hear you speak those words - once again

You are ready now - to be taken up
You did your best - never giving up
The fire in your soul - desired me
Come share the joy of my love - in eternity
Your soul is now at rest - resting in me
