The Sweetest Thing

Lord, you have opened my eyes To see the truth from lies, You have removed the disguise of the enemy. He would like us to think That the sweetest things are Money, false pride & the power of this world. However, as your spirit has shown me, These are nothing compared to a single dose of your Peace, hope & love, The gifts that are from above. That’s why I say: Lord, the sweetest things are from you They are so free, & freeing, The sweetest things are from you Because they come from you: The Superior being. For it makes perfect sense that The one who knows best Should give the best gifts. Not that you don’t give wealth and status, But not to all, However, there is not one saint That has never known your peace. The point: some gifts are more valuable than others And that is what the devil doesn’t want us to see He has turned the value system backwards In hope that we will follow, And eventually join in his sorrow. Lord, that’s why you are our hope for tomorrow Because you are the sweetest thing.
