THE GIFT 09/15/2011 1526 God is great and God is good Each of us is a wonderful gift created by our Father’s love How everything that we need is present and represented In all that surrounds us in our lives, He is the one that sent it Seeing His son hang for our sins with 2 thieves by His side With His suffering for our trespasses, there was no pride, Only a beautiful gift dripping away in blood God’s tears as He gave us His only begotten Son He gave us more than any earthly person ever would Gifts we don’t appreciate, so often misunderstood During this journey, the people in our lives are where we see God face to face Victory after victory, splash after splash of God’s thirst quenching grace All in the face of the people in our lives who can never be replaced From conception to laughter, In each of our stories, there are unread chapters With lovers of “the word” sent with their own gift, their own message Their own interpretation, their own blessing Helping us to pass each “transgressional” testing, By blood or by acquaintance, misfortune or circumstance Those in our lives are here with provisions and life lessons Preparations and encouragement, by order of God’s suggestion Neither lonely nor dismayed, unprepared or without truth We will flourish and continue if the “The Word” is our root God is great and He provides what is good The perfected masterpiece of love has been withstood Friends and family who are God’s chosen ones Sent to love us unconditionally whether we are considered something or none With shoulders to lean on, and with an attentive ear Someone to offer their support as we dry that last tear With God’s light and His salvation whom shall we fear? His love is always near… A gift neatly wrapped called family and friends
