A Better Perspective....

I don't consider myself a writer, but sometimes I enjoy making a few rhymes. I was having a very homesick moment a few days ago, so I spent some time with the Father. My perspective was much better after that and I began to write....

You are strong when I am weak
You are my words when I cannot speak
You are my joy, my All, my King
Oh, Father, you can take the lead
'Cause you're everything I need.

Somtimes I fear and then I fall
Sometimes I doubt and then I crawl
I crawl back into your arms where I know I am loved
I bask in your presence, my God of perfect love.

Sometimes I sin and I disobey
I want my will and I want my way
But I come running to your arms that once stretched out on that tree
Oh, your grace--it has saved me and forever made me free.

Somtimes I hurt and feel alone
Searching for a friend to call my own
And then I remember you're the One that's always true
So, I run to you Jesus and I give my tears to you

Oh Lord I worship you alone
I sing with angels around the throne
You are worthy Lord of worship
You are worthy of my life
So, I surrender to you gladly with my heart, soul, and mind.

Those are beautiful words. I bet you could put them to music. Yes, you are a writer. I clearly see it from reading your blog entries. Your thoughts and words apply to all of us when we are right here at home but at that time don't feel at home with The Father. Hopefully, your little decorations will help you feel closer to home.

My dear friend! With tears in my eyes I thank God so much that He is so real to us, that He is able to simply wrap us in his arms and make us feel safe...but more than that, He does give us a mind, will, and understanding more like his when we come to him willing to be changed...your poem is beautiful...thank you for being so transparent.
