2022 Blessing
There have been days of grief,
when the memories of those gone haunt me.
And I have teary days of aloneness ...
but the Lord has been close through this year of 2022,
and his love has been a blessing.
He gives me strength and courage,
filling my soul with tranquility and serenity.
And he helps me accept my past ...
so, I am able to put it within his waiting strong arms,
and his love has been a blessing.
The Lord is my rock and anchor,
holding my hand when I whisper, please help.
He carries me when I am broken ...
see my tears Lord, oh, these are my tears of thanks,
and his love has been a blessing.
With his words I overcome pain,
and I am safe in the shelter of his wings.
The wicked and evil he rejects ...
the Lord holds up his shield to protect me from harm,
and his love has been a blessing.
The Lord renews my hope,
and I am able to rise up like an eagle.
I will not fail in 2022 ...
for I praise him each day and 'till my last earthly breath,
and his love has been a blessing.
