Just  bein Thankful

 

 

The last few years just flew right by,

could hardly catch my breath.

From agony to ecstasy, from poor to doin fine,

 My Lord's timing was everything,

 He made me totally free,

be fore he so richly and abundantly

began to bless,

 me.

 

Cause in His Grace, my wings,

fully spread,

 I soar to heights and touch His hand.

 I ask ; can I do more ?

Because the feelin's  so,

 Sublime.

 

Instead He literally blesses my socks off,

and ,once again ,

 my thoughts  are filled:

with a poets, sense of

Rhyme.

 

 

He turned my life, once single again,

 to meet my wildest dreams.

For:

His promises are secure.

If He says He'll give you the desires of your heart;

 If you will but put Him,

 on your life's 

 Thrown.

 

Then just bide your time, buddy,

 cause He does what He says:

He'll treat you like,

His own.

 

He's given me wealth, and my soul mate too,

and  with my health He had a lot to do.

Cause I died about 6 years back.

 He healed a heart 1/3rd was dead;

and so was I,

 for a while.

 

But I heard

the words:

your not done

here yet,

 It's time to sow,

 the seed.

 

 As  I melted  from the enveloping warmth,

 that at death surrounded me.

 

I know my name is,

in

His book,

 and the rest just falls away.

Cause in His Grace,

and filled with His Power,

 He'll use me

in some

Way.

Art, this is beautiful, precious. Is it another song? I can almost hear it in my head! I thank Him for saving you and sparing your life, and mending you and making you whole. I thank Him for bringing you here, and for making you my Brother. Keep on singin'!!!
