Forsake Me Not, O Lord
by Fenny West



Forsake me not, O Lord
Lest I fall by the wayside
Wander away from your Word
Drift like a ship without a rudder.

Forsake me not, my Shepherd
Lest forage in dangerous territory
Forget what I have heard
Fall prey to the adversary.

Forsake me not, in my sorrows
Lest I murmur, complain and sin
Last I hurt myself with my arrow
And make my bed in the bin.

Forsake me not in my joys
Lest I am consumed, subsumed
Forget due holy employ
Forget whose I am, doomed.

Forget me not when I fall
Lest I forget the way back
Drift and die like Saul
And missing the mark.

Good Shepherd, forget me not
One of the sheep of your pasture
With a great price bought
Lord, let Your presence endure.


Forsake me not in light
Lest I take it for granted.
Forsake me not in night
Lest my vision is beclouded.
