What Can I Give What can I give to God who gives So many gifts to me? There must be some way in the world To thank Him properly. But since the earth belongs to Him And everything therein, The only presents I can give Must come from deep within. A loving heart, a faith that grows With every passing day. A belief that carries me along And conquers, come what may. My gratitude, eternally, For blessings by the score. These are the things He really wants. They're His for evermore. A life that's lived with Him in mind. Each day I'll keep Him near. The more I dwell on Him, I find, The less I have to fear!

Dear Betty; I so love the depth of your faith. Surely the only way to rid our hearts of fear is surrender to His Love! This is glorious. Love, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Each day I'll keep Him near. The more I dwell on Him, I find, The less I have to fear! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amen! He says if we draw near to him, he will draw near to us. Great poem! Deb |
