Poems by Fran Watson

Purified in Jesus

Jesus, lover of my soul
Keep me safe, and keep me whole.
Let me live my life for Thee,
Truly blessed and truly free.
May I give the ones I love
A sense of presence from above.
May those who know me know You too
And may they be no longer blue,
But full of love and joy and cheer
As they work their way through every year.

May I be always growing,
And may I be always knowing,
Of your love and trust in me,
That I will turn to you and be…
Not do, or run or speak, just be
The person that you want of me.
The one you’ve molded,
And shaped and burned to get the gold.
