When I was down You lifted me,
gave me Your strength infinity
but, that wasn't enough for You. You set me free!
Free of earthy cravings simply free to be me.
When I was ill, You held my hand,
steadied my feet, helped me to stand.
Your love--warm and silent--daily grows much stronger
though I'm only human. In faith I shall abide
for Your love alone ... sustains me
fills ev'ry pore with ectasy.
You created the world for me,
threw starlight in the galaxy,
made miracles in a womb once barren, empty.
Nothing that You ask will e'er be too much for me.
Breaths of air, each a sublime gift
recycled since the dinosaur,
enter the living, enhance our facilities.
I am who I am because that's who You made me.
You gave me strength and dignity
because You loved and lifted me.
I absolutely love this one, Sandra. I,also love Him. He indeed is a miracle worker, and has performed many in my life, and also set me free of those earthy cravings. I applaud you! Love, Leah C. Wilson
