Water your Soul

Since I first read it in Celtic Midday prayer, this 'prayer' of Teresa of Avila has been increasingly important to me.  I've just finished a song based on it.  It's funny how strange singing about endurance feels!

Let your mind be not disturbed;
let your heart never fear.
All things pass, God does not change:
Patiently endure

Steel you heart to keep to the end;
Set your foot to the climb.
Who God owns, He'll surely provide:
Patiently endure

And He'll walk with you all through the storm,
yes, he'll walk with you all through the night;
in the dessert, he'll water your soul;
in the loneliness hold on your heart.

I know that some of my friends (both e-friends and the ones closer to home) are having a hard time at the moment.  This has become my prayer for them.

Caroline, you have a real gift for writing songwords. Forgive my ignorance, but do you write music for them as well?

Blush.. thank you kind sir ..

well yes, I do compose the music, but sadly since I can't read or write musical notation, I get a bit stuck

We are starting to sing my songs at church and some of them seem to be a blessing to the church family.
