A Watch For Sureness
Just a tap at the door,
An angel's already by;
Thus, you know how alert
Heaven stands daily
Awaiting your call.
A watch for sureness
Set in heaven's court
Reads every mind
That stands knocking
On heaven's door.
To you who may care,
When you are true,
Be certain of your need
And stand in good plea,
Waiting meekly.
For that strong yearning
Do heaven's jury
Stand to dully grant
Unto those who call
In truth and peace
With pestering knocks
Of passionate hopes.
