Oh Lord, give me a heart of gratitude
When darkness encroaches
Threatening devastation is at hand
Suffering approaching
*****
Thwart my retreat into the barren past
Contemplating what ifs
Ground me with Your grace so I can holdfast
To Your exquisite gifts
*****
Love healing devastating brokenness
Washing away sorrow
Humiliation, utter hopelessness
Silencing my ego
*****
Mercy illuminating secrets, sins
Offering forgiveness
Prison doors opened, renewal begins
Goodbye desperateness
*****
Renewing my mind with heaven’s wisdom
Revealing lies from hell
Authentic emotions, not stoicism
At long last all is well
*****
Thank you Lord for never forsaking me
Endlessly pursuing
Creating for me a new reality
Finally am breathing
Be a VOICE shouting into the wilderness.
“CHRIST is returning!”
