For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ~John 3:16
I don't deserve you
I never will
And yet, you're here
With me, still
God of wonder
Lord of all
Loving me
Before the Fall
Sending once
Your Son, divine,
Grace falls down
You call me, "Mine."
Wonderful poem and a prayer too. Thanx Martha.

The most profound piece of truth the world was ever offered, Martha--not just for the human race in general, but for us personally, individually, and irreversibly. Thanks for that uplifting reminder--Good News in the midst of a darkening atmosphere.

Such a beautiful poem, Martha. It made me think of the words of this old hymn.
ReplyDelete"Not in the temples made with hands,
Though beautiful by art,
But God in mercy condescends
To dwell within my heart.
Refrain:
Oh, glory to Jesus so sweet in me,
My body, Thy temple shall forever be.
How wonderful that He would take
This poor abode of sin,
And wash me in His precious blood,
And now abide within.
No more I think of God afar,
But see Thee, Lord, within;
Oh, shine in me, Thou morning star,
And keep Thy temple clean.
O Lord, enshrined within my breast,
My constant joy and peace;
My soul can now forever rest,
Secure in Thy embrace.
God bless you, sweet friend.
Amen, Cheryl, and amen, again! Thanks so much for sharing these inspirational words here.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Simply beautiful poem Martha. Thank you for sharing.
