The Beggar

A beggar, unworthy,
I’ve come to His Throne
with hopes of found Mercy
and Grace of my own
wherein I’ll be ample,
wherein I’ll be fed
by those whose examples
abound in my head;
of Paul and of Silas
whose prison and gloom
could not instill silence,
but brightened the room
with quake and with singing
of songs filled with praise,
I guess I’ll be bringing
my own song today;
a song of forgiveness,
a song of adore,
a song of new passage
I’ve asked of the Lord
wherein, by His Mercy,
wherein, does Grace pour,
I’ll seek and be certain
to need beg no more.



God bless,
Lighthouse Bob

I don't know what happened.  I answered but my answer didn't show.  I did something wrong.  But this is a wonderful poem and I am sorry that I haven't been around and missed it earlier.  Love, Joyce

You've again shown our shipwrecked lives, restored and gifted through God's neverending grace.  Thank you for sharing.

God bless,
