I Appreciate God's Blessings
I Appreciate God’s Blessings!
I didn't know how good I had it,
until I lost what I owned.
I lost my family, possessions,
and home..
I tried to live a life according
to a "good principle."
I let pride get in the way and
felt kind of "invincible."
I once had money, wealth and some fame.
Now I feel alone
and ashamed.
I feel empty, afraid
and "at my wit's end."
Everyone. it seems, has left me.
Even my close friends.
Jesus... You're the one I know
that I can call upon.
You make things "right"
when all seems "wrong."
What you can give to me,
money could never buy.
I humbly kneel before you Lord,
with a desperate cry.
Please help me dear lord...
I know that you can.
I read in your word that you are;
"I AM that I AM!"
In YOU... Jesus...
I can find life's meaning.
Your life for mine, is what I'm now believing.
You're my best friend whom
I love so much.
I need your mercy and peace!
Your "special touch."
You alone can bring love and joy,
that wealth can never give.
You brought me hope and peace
and a reason to live!
