Now That's Service

blinded by the things i see
when i have nothing it's you i almost believe

my prayer goes up from my lips
not in vain, you gracefuly make a list

dispite my sins and shortcomings arye
You put distance between them and i

and yet i still wonder what it is
between You and i

my commitment to you has something 
i can't deneigh

but i'm doing my the very best i can
not to make it what you did and i....

it's not that i hear You bragging
but times like these i hear You bragging

of your goodness to me 
of things i didn't see

of when one night i knelt in prayer
and the very next day, surprisingly your there 

where these things come from i know not where
but as for now i know they're there

the hidden secrets and treasures You bare
my help in need from out of nowhere

God is always with us and He works in mysterious ways. He sees everything too. Can't hide your heart from His sight. Sins and all I open my wole heart to Him because it gets too messy for me to handle! He fills our needs in the end and He knows just what we need. Excellent write, John! Love, Robin
