My God, Thank You For Lifting Me Up

August 8 Scripture Meditations Based on Ezekiel 4-11 Key Verse – Ezekiel 11:1 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house…
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR LIFTING ME UP Thank You for lifting me up against sin-downfall By Your forgiveness of pardon’s call That cleanses my soul from wickedness, whether big or small So I can stand uprightly tall upon Your mercy’s hall. Thank You for lifting me up against error-backsliding By Your holiness of graciousness’ upholding That pulls my heart from defilement’s degrading So I can forbear godly scolding. Thank You for lifting me up against guilt-pressure By Your righteousness of kindness’ measure That drives my faith from fears’ enclosure So I can pursue toward heavenly treasure. Thank You for lifting me up against distress-discouragement By Your truth of inspiration’s enduement That propels my spirit from worldliness’ enticement So I can seek Your revival fulfillment. Thank You for lifting me up against slothfulness-sluggardness By Your love of power’s effectiveness That pulls my body from laziness So I can labour with diligent earnestness. Thank You for lifting me up against vanity-torture By Your sufficiency of satisfaction’s gesture That settles my emptiness from nothingness’ posture So I can pray upon trust-filled venture. Thank You for lifting me up against anxiety-disposition By Your joy of goodness’ provision That ends my discontentment-bouts midst dissatisfaction So I can continue in Your constant compassion.

To me, you remain a mystery, dear Beata ! I have no idea how one can write so much every day on God's great attributes and His overwhelming mercy and Providence... that too in such perfect rhyming. I have almost the same feelings about the poems of Regina and the Unseeking Seeker ! Stay blessed. May the Good Lord keep lifting you up ever and ever.
