The Simple Poem

“We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you.”

Psalm 33:20-22 

Dear Father,

Last evening I tried to write a poem

To thank you for what you have done

And although my heart was overflowing

I could not write a word….. not one

O Jesus, sometimes it’s hard to express what lives inside of me

To hide my fears, my doubts and my insecurity

 Many time my stubbornness gets in the way

And I don’t feel I want to write or sing or pray

But Jesus You know the words are there

They live deep down inside of me

Because I DO KNOW how you care

And that I always will be  part of Thee

So Jesus, again I searched my wandering heart

But the words that came to mind were hollow,

Not good enough to explain my brand new start

And surely not right enough for You, the one I want to  follow

But today is Your day dear Lord

And although this is all that I could bring

I offer you these simple words

And my praises in the songs I sing

Oh Lord, I thank you for being with me every day

And for listening to me when I pray

For putting up with me when I complain

And for sharing in my joy and pain

Go before me Lord today

And prepare for me the way

Help me to sing when de day is bright

And help me to praise you through the darkest night

Amen.
