I give myself to Thee

Ken Cooper

Oh, how I trust Thee, God, in the still of quiet prayer.
Let me feel the power of Truth: Your present love right here.
Help me, please, to leave behind false idols of my past,
And reach out with my heart and mind to know what will long last.
Thy promise is eternal; to walk with Thee is right;
Where e’er I am, I know Thy love, and I reflect Your light.

I need not dwell upon the past or seek some distant time,
For God is always with me now, forever here and mine.
In trust and strong obedience, I listen for Love’s voice;
It tells me all I need to know—there is no better choice.

I trust Thee, Father-Mother, because I’m in Your sight:
Your love doth e’er surround me; I bathe in Your pure light.
And as Your light, dear Father, I’m always on the move,
For light is never static—Your life I ever prove!
In prayer I learn, in stillness, what You would have me do,
So Love and Truth and Life express, as I’m reflecting You.
Oh, perfect Father-Mother, I find myself in Thee;
All I do is done through You, man’s true perfection be.

—Ken Cooper
