How shall I say This to You Oh Lord Oh God Lord of my heart You have given A gentle hand And the receiving To impart Lord Almighty To understand The language That you speak Trembles the Very beauty That shall never Find me weak Grace an erring way That I may know Humility As my journal And please I beg That I may lay At your feet And write eternal The bread you feed Ten-thousand men I took a taste And was fulfilled Let me hurry And journey thus That not one piece Of your Truth is spilled A sinner’s heart I cannot defeat But You my Lord I’ll never shun The author’s name Be all the same By: God, this Work is done!

Walt* I'm in awe of this piece..so beautiful and eloquent I'm printing this one out...words to live by...as our poetry is a gift from the hands of God and with that thought in mind we shall never take it for granted. Simply awesome my friend! You cannot dance in the sun until you have cried in the rain~ |

Walt (and congrats btw - WAHOO!) THIS is wonderful work my friend...I read it with peace, I truly did. Smiles. K The wind shifts like this: Like a human without illusions... This is how the wind shifts: Like a human, heavy and heavy, Who does not care. W.S |

This is absolutely wonderful! There is much more to you than meets the eye, walt, and my heart melts with the sincerity of these words. They are mine also. And God is smiling tenderly at you. |

I can only echo what the others have so accurately said about this piece, Walt. And tell you that it moved me. He was (is) guiding your hand, my friend. Rainy (wonder if we could get Him to check out your phone line??) |
