O Lord Are You in Need?

When he calls on me tonight
will I rise and have to greet him
O Lord are you in need?

He'll ask of me to think
of some grounds on which to meet him
O Lord are you in need?

The porch across the street
is cold and dark and empty
O Lord are you in need?

The window to the left
holds warmth and light to tempt me
O Lord are you in need?

Can one man I admire
ask kneeling for my kindness
O Lord are you in need?

This seamlessness I granted,
was that due to my blindness?
O Lord are you in need?

Your face seems hardly that
which I've pined for in the mirror
O Lord are you in need?

Nor the visage I held up
to support me in life's furor
O Lord can you be in need?
