I Saw Jesus In My Coffee This Morning

I heard it percolating and I just knew it would be a most special cup

Every morning I anticipatedly go and wash out my old cup from the day before

The dread of doing dishes is always before me and with my meager income

Who can afford a maid anyways? Right?

I sit down to write as I do almost every morning 

And through the steam from my coffee cup I saw him

Yes I did! 

And you cannot convince me otherwise!

I saw Jesus right there in the middle of my coffee cup!

His reflection was brilliant and I almost saw his eyes of blue

I was smiling like never before and he was simply smiling back at me

Mona Lisa ain't got nothing on my Lord's smile!

And his smile is priceless too.

His smile is the only thing I long to see any time, anywhere, you name it!

Basically, what it boils down to is this...

You can find Jesus in anything if you really focus

I know I do!

Well, I gotta go now and enjoy my first and last cuppa coffee for the day!
