When I recall my yesterdays
the toil of storms and strife
I thank my Precious Savior above
for giving me new life
There was a time of darkness
I'd surely lost my way
my life was so empty and void
I could not even pray
Each morning when I awoke
held nothing more than dread
any hope for happiness was gone
I wished that I was dead
But then one single word---Forgiven
was spoken from his throne
my heart was restored brand new
he beckoned, Child Come Home
I died inside that he might live
within this heart of mine
I chose the path to peace and love
of a far more lasting kind
I'm now walking in his victory
each day my heart does sing
I'm so honored and blessed to be
a child of Christ the King

DeleteHi Susie! I sure enjoyed this beautiful poem and quote. Isn't that so true that when you love God in your heart people see it in your eyes? I hope that you had a nice week. I am sorry that I haven't been writing or checking in as much as I usually do. The doctor has been trying me on some new medication and it has been making me feel pretty bad. But I am beginning to feel a bit better and I am not so nauseated or in quite so much pain. We are having some family over for dinner tonight so I am looking forward to doing a little baking this afternoon. We are having a beautiful day. There is a cold front that has moved down and it is only 50 degrees today. The cold air is very refreshing though and I have opened up all the windows to let the fresh breeze blow through. Have a good day ahead! With Love, Delisa :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Delisa, it is so good to be able to see that. I'm so sorry you haven't been feeling well and hope you feel better soon.I posted on yours.
