Giver of Eternal Life,
My Love for You is a rose,
Each petal a facet of my love.
In every passing moment this glorious flower grows,
Its heady fragrance lingering in the air clinging to strangers passing by.
The full-blown rose will gain in magnificence in your garden,
Where You shelter it from the frost of loneliness and the storms of sin.

King of the Most High,
Your tremendous works overwhelm me if I only stop for moment to look around.
It takes only an instant then,
Crash!
All that You have bestowed on me thunders down like water released from a dam.
Faces of friends and family flit by in the flood, reminding me all that I am grateful for.

O Wondrous Lord,
My heart sings Your praises using trumpet and drum,
Catching the tune, the breeze bellows it back
Towards the mountains to the sea
For my joy cannot be contained
Any more than Your love can be denied by the works of man.

O King of Kings,
Forever am I Your servant.
For the love and gifts You have given,
Now gives me the longing to return some of the love You have bestowed.
Endlessly will I strive to do good works,
So I will be able in some measure reflect some of what you have given me.
