Lest I Forget

Let me not forget Dear Lord to talk with thee each day.
Let me not forget to ask for mercy when I pray.

Let my eyes look Heavenward at the wonders up above
and marvel in the mercy of His everlasting love.

Let me not forget lost souls when I go to prayer with Thee,
remembering that my humble soul was tossed on life's stormy sea.

Let not my thankful soul forget to labor well 'til day is done
so I might hear thy gracious voice say "Well done, my faithful son."

~ Lacy H. Murphy, 1971
