Listening to every heart

Thank You

Softly, gently, in my mind, I whisper thus Your Name
and ask that You look at me, for I am not the same,
for You have entered my own heart, wrapped a golden chain
from which You tug my conscience, no, I am not the same.

You have been so wonderful, You ask me to believe
You cause me to see the light, You ask that I not grieve;
You’ve given me all treasures, You say You will not leave,
You ask so very little, You only ask that I believe.

You allow me to be human, and forgive my vast mistakes,
You lift me up so gently, You will not let me break;
and when You give me burden, You then raise me up;
You’ve given me Your Son’s soul, to drink from this, Your cup.

In my younger, youthful days, I sorely let You down,
it was fine for others, that Your Son had born the crown
and when I was in dark despair, I didn’t call Your name,
for I would not have You look at me, I was not the same.

But You took Your own good time, with such sweet, loving grace
For me to see Your heavenly soul, for me to see Your face;
to feel Your love uncommon, to me Your gifts you’ve shown
and now I am so humbled, for in Your Love I’ve grown.

Today I ask for guiding light, in wisdom I would walk
Today I pray for others, ask that You even guide my talk;
Today I give my heart and soul, to You and many others,
and ask for love from my arms, to wrap ‘round my sisters and brothers.

Sunshine,
  A poem of beauty from a beautiful heart. Oh, how this makes our Lord sing songs of joy. If it blesses us, what must the heavenly choir be singing unto Him. Loved this heart felt poem.  marcy
