From within the conclave of Your excellence
with the magnificence of…You…perpetually seeping…
O God, I give You the Glory!
75 years I’ve walked so imperfectly, yet…
with Your tender tolerance…ever keeping
Master, I give You the Glory!
Over the mountains, in valley’s and on level plains
Your precious love caught my joy and sad…weeping
Jehovah, I give You the Glory!
Celebrating here…’neath the shadow of Your wing
I gratefully persevere in Your strength…ever reaping
Yahweh, I give You the Glory!
How did I miraculously survive it all…?
You came forth, You are alive…not sleeping!
All these years with no stone unturned…You abide
gifting me…Your rare affection…heaping
Indeed, by Your will alone I still breathe…
worn and torn, yes ... albeit ...ever leaping
Unfailing are the ribbons of Your mercy and grace…
that continue to gleam, their beauty eternally creeping
I come O Ever Present Lord!
I come O King of Kings!
I come all Powerful and Only Saviour!
I come, I come…my soul sings!
Three quarters of a century You have brought this lump of clay
sometimes up and sometimes down …to see, today
From my first howl…when light streamed from Your throne
I have stood…through no credit of my own
Though many opinions fly…it’s You that’s writing my story
thus, as we onward go…Sweet Jesus! I Give…You…The Glory!
Ps 86:12, Eph 1:6-7, Rev 4:11

Praise the LORD for folks like you.
For TRUE CHRISTIANS today are rare, very few.
I cannot bear to think how many babies have not yet been born.
Who could now be doctors, preachers, great teachers and on and on.
These precious babies could have been adapted into our world.
They could have been a precious baby boy or a bouncing baby girl.
I grieve for the millions that were slain without even a breath.
They could have been just like you or just like me instead
But they are being slain in the womb and are now forever dead.
Dear Lord of all how come we allowed this to happen at all?
We witnessed humanities rise and now we witness it's fall.
I promise from this day on to do all that I can
to give a chance of life to these silent unborn children
Let's celebrate LIFE along with every woman and every man
In the precious name of Jesus - Use me as I am!
Amen
PS: We need more loving Christians like you Joyce to spread the GOOD NEWS. We can start today by giving NEW LIFE a fighting chance. Amen
