To say that You have saved me
to say that I am nothing with out You
to say that I was nothing before You
that would be on understatement

to say that I had fallen
      far far from Your grace
to say that I was dying
      or to even say that I was dead
that would be an understatement

to say that I was hurting
to say that I that I blamed You
to say that I was wrong
that would be an understatemet

to say that I was alone
      and wondering why he could not love me
to say that I was searching
      for some one to take his place
that would be an understatement

to say that You are wonderfull
to say that I am nothing
to say that I was lost
that would be an understatement

and so I sum these statements up with words of thanks to You
for being there when all was lost
for replacing a missing father
for being my strength
ang holding my heart in Your hands
with out You I don't know where I would be
and that is an understatment

It's awesome that we can never be beyond His reach. This was a fantastic show of thankfulness, and humbleness, and of course the kind of love you hold in your heart for God.

This was GREAT!

brings to my mind..regardless who we are, what we are.. big, small, strong, weak, old,young, colorless, nameless...we are all the same, "the same" in the eyes of our Lord Jesus, I truly am thankful for that fact for I am the smallest among His fold, yet He will tend to the one stay sheep leaving the ninty nine till He has collected His sheep...Our Wonderful Saviour.

Wonderful Poem.
