MERCY

MERCY
Feb. 1976
When I think of Thee, My Lord,
And all you've done for me;
I find I can not understand
How this could ever be.
For I know I am not worthy,
That you should look my way;
And yet you always hear me
Every time I pray.
Just being in your presence,
Is joy and rest complete.
You take away my fears,
When e'er I feel defeat.
I pray I never have to bare
A single day without you,
And since you came and took my place,
I know I'll never have to.

I love this! You can tell you love the Lord and he is first in your life! I hear Jesus in you!

What a wonderful compliment, Rose. I do love him very much, that is true. I assume you do too, right?

So sweet and honest. You are a poet divine! I do believe you are before your time. Write on....

Great testament to God's grace. Not looking for justice-only mercy-good write.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
