I Will Abide You My Lord Poem by Aldo Kraas

I will abide you my God
And from this god hour I will never leave you
But Got I will never forake you in my life
And I know that you will never forsake me in your life also
But keep my soul as thine, calm and divine
As some rear perfume in a vase of clay
And let the rear perfume all through the air inside of my home
So that people can smell it with their noses
Like I can with mine
I will abide you my God
And I will let you wash my heart and make it whiter than snow
