A Prayer
Heavenly Father, I thank You so much
For all You’ve given to someone like me;
Undeserving of Your affection, still
You sent Your only Son to set me free.
I was deaf and blind to all Your goodness--
Ignored Your Word and chose another way.
I thought You hindered me from happiness,
But I was just lost like a dog astray.
Through the many storms and uncertainties,
I emerged triumphant and overcame;
But without Your hand holding me aloft,
I wouldn’t have victory to proclaim.
I have nothing to boast about, dear God,
For all that I possess have come from You--
My strength, my will, my heart, my intellect,
And all that I know You already knew.
