Notes About The Poem

Every now and then it's good to re dedicate yourself to The Father and let Him know how much you still love Him.

We were made in His image and likeness so if you take your own feelings and magnify them about a thousand times you might come close to how much He feels.

Yeah, God has feelings. That's where we get it from.

He suffers a broken heart every day because of the way we ignore Him.

Great Is Your Faithfulness

When I was growing up,
I felt I wasn't really wanted.
The kids I went to school with,
Always chided me and taunted.

I didn't know You much back then,
Mostly I just feared You;
But You knew me although to me,
You never did appear to.

We were poor when Mom left Dad,
I didn't understand;
But I had what I needed,
Extended by Your hand.

My mother never taught me much,
She wasn't very bright.
She never did take me to church,
So You brought me Your Light,

Through neighbors who came over,
Inviting us to come,
And Mom said I could go with them,
She didn't want to come.

Many times I've stumbled.
You always pick me up.
Even when I didn't know,
Twas You who filled my cup.

You've always been there for me,
Though I deserved it not.
You're patient and You're faithful,
Though I fail You a lot.

I don't know how to tell You,
How much You mean to me.
No words come near describing,
Your faithfulness to me;

So I'll just say I love You,
I hope You know how much;
For though I'm weak Your love is strong,
You see we don't lose touch.

Twas You who came to find me,
As I stumbled in the dark,
And Your Spirit gives me courage,
On my soul You've placed Your mark.

Let me always dwell beside You.
Let me in Your shadow rest.
Let Your wings provide my shelter.
Let me be Your humble guest.
