Sunday Morning at Home

I cannot go to church this Sunday morning
And sadness fills my heart.
Dear Lord, forgive me this self-pity;
Take it away, destroy it,
And fill me with joy and peace
Of knowing You are with me
Despite the fact I cannot meditate 
In your friendly little church;
Listening to Your word,
Sensing Your presence near me,
Calming my anxiety and uncertainty
While I attempt to solve my daily problems.
Dear Lord, forgive my weakness and despair
As I stumble through the cold and lonely darkness
Where I cannot feel Your presence.
Walk with me, dear Lord, and let me lean
Upon Your everlasting love.
Fill me with Your light and let me know
That You are with me even though I must remain at home
While others worship in Your sanctuary.
