I Appreciate God's Blessings

I Appreciate God’s Blessings!

I didn't know how good I had it, 
until I lost what I owned.
I lost my family, possessions,
and home..

I tried to live a life according
 to a "good principle."
I let pride get in the way and
 felt kind of "invincible."

I once had money, wealth and some fame.
Now I feel alone
and ashamed.

I feel empty, afraid 
and "at my wit's end."
Everyone. it seems, has left me.
 Even my close friends.

Jesus... You're the one I know 
that I can call upon.
You make things "right" 
when all seems "wrong."

What you can give to me, 
money could never buy.
I humbly kneel before you Lord, 
with a desperate cry.

Please help me dear lord... 
 I know that you can.
I read in your word that you are; 
"I AM that I AM!"

In YOU... Jesus... 
I can find life's meaning.
Your life for mine, is what I'm now believing.

You're my best friend whom 
I love so much.
I need your mercy and peace! 
Your "special touch."
	
You alone can bring love and joy,
 that wealth can never give.
You brought me hope and peace
 and a reason to live!
