I’m Thankful

What am I doing?
Am I just mooing
In the pastures of uselessness?
All the worrying.
All the scurrying
In the grand scheme it’s foolishness.

All the vanity.
All the insanity
And the lies that I’m fed each day.
All the denial
Or the exile
Of the truth that You are the way.

God, I need You,
And I beseech You
That You will hear what I have to say.
Please forgive me
For my iniquity.
Help me to follow You every day.

God, I’m thankful.
So very grateful
For all that You have done for me.
For salvation
And reconciliation
And peace with You for eternity.

Shine Your light
Into the nights
Of my foolish doubt and unbelief.
Your resurrection
Is my protection
From Satan’s attacks and deceits.

Help me embrace
All the grace
That You gave me at the cross.
With this new life,
Give me Your eyes
And a heart for the hurt and lost.

Lord I’m thankful
That You were faithful
To take my place at Calvary.
Hear my praise
For all my days
And my gratitude through eternity.
