An Ode To My Lord

An Ode To My Lord Lord. you are my strength...my anchor in a sea of despair. When I am drowning and fear there is no one to help me, I hear your voice telling me to hold on. You are the first person I talk to when I wake and the last at the end of the day. You are my family, and as such you forgive my temporary lapse of faith when I lash out at you when things go awry. When I am in pain, I remember your suffering on the cross and I am humbled. I do not presume to understand why things happen as they do, I only trust that in your wisdom there is a reason. You are hope… you are salvation… you are love You gave your life for us so that we might be saved and someday, I hope to meet you face to face to thank you for this sacrifice and show you, you did not die in vain.
