‘Yet even if these forget
I will never forget you’
Words of Isaiah
Are they are they true?
When I feel abandoned
Quiet at close of day
When all around is darkness
What then can I say?
Does no one remember me?
All my loved ones fled
Am I old and lonely now?
And soon will I be dead?
And when my dying day comes round
Will I be alone?
Who dwells in your heart?
Who occupies that throne?
Remember Jesus on the cross
Remember words he said
This day with me in paradise
A good night prayer for bed
