Bountiful Blessings Bestowed
Through knowledge of God I am aware of my blessings.
An abundance of blessings in gifts, I've been given
By the hand of God, kindly bestowed on me, his
Child. I am a sheep within His flock, and He calls me
Daughter, for He is my Father, the Divine One, God.
Eagerly, I follow His teachings, obeying His commands.
Faithful shall I always be. I'm a lily growing in the field.
Gratefully indebted to Jesus for giving up his life.
Hope has been restored to me because of his sacrifice.
Instilled within my heart is the love I have for him.
Joyfully, I give praise in words and spiritual songs,
Keeping in mind, to turn away from temptation, for
Loyalty will be rewarded on the day of my reckoning.
My merciful Father gave the life of his only begotten son.
No greater gift could be given to me or anyone.
Obedience through faith I offer Him, for I am far from
Perfect, but he loves me in spite of my human flaws.
Quenched are my spiritual needs through prayer, and
Rich is my reward when offered the hope of eternal
Salvation, as foretold in scripture, Revelation 7:10*
Thankful to serve a righteous God, to whom I pray in
Undertones throughout the course of each day.
Vigilant shall I always be, to sing his praises in
Words of righteous glory. I am likened to the
Xylem tissue of a plant; faith flows inside my heart.
Yearning to be blessed by devotion to the one true God.
Zealously, but with humility, I deliver His message.
*Revelation 7:10: "...Salvation we owe to our God,
who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb."
