Jesus My Living Hope

Only You, Eternal God, are holy.
I pledge to praise you every day of my life
You were born in a humble estate, so meek and lowly.

You also died to rid me of heartaches, grief, pain, and strife.
Each waking moment I am thankful for your grace
My faith in you is as deep as your expectation for a husband to love his wife.

You rose triumphant from the grave, and one day I will behold Your face.
 Jesus, You are my living hope
You fill my being with love, peace, and joy.

I am facing many storms in life, but You help me cope 
I love because You first loved me, and your precepts I will always employ.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Reneice, I am sorry I missed this when you posted it, but am so glad I was able to read it today. I say a hearty "amen" to every line and am glowing in the faith we share in Christ, and in your amazing talent to put the inexpressible into poetry. I wish you well, my friend, and God bless you always ~ John
