Rising Within Your Pages

I take for granted all that I can do Thinking that what I have has all been earned Instead I should be so thankful to You A spirit of pride is one that is learned I start to believe the things that are said Thinking that what I have has all been earned Within my heart I begin to be led Rising within the pages of Your Word I start to believe the things that are said I learn to fly on the wings of a bird Here is where I learn the ways of Freedom Rising within the pages of Your Word I no longer doubt your Kingdom will come Without your Love I will never know Peace Here is where I learn the ways of Freedom Within the Heavens praises never cease Without Your Love I will never know Peace I take for granted all that I can do Instead I should be so thankful to you Any poem #4 Contest.

:) One of your endearing qualities is your faith, Richard. It always reminds me of what really matters. Thank you. I'm so glad you visited an older write. You were the only one to do that when I was away on a consistent basis. I know life keeps us busy, but this gesture of yours today brought me joy. Hugs :)

Exquisitely beautiful poem, Richard. As a Christian, I was deeply moved by your inspired words of faith. They help to strengthen me. Ty for that. Much love to you, fellow servant of Jesus Christ. RW

'Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven'...He taught us how to pray and if I could ever learn to repeat that same prayer with my very heart and soul, then I would truly be redeemed by the blood of the Lamb...Great testimony my friend - Tim

We do take lots of things for granted in life; how many times we get servings on silver spoons. Let us take merit for what we strive for...and give merit to who it's due. So be it. // paul

Yes, I often confuse my silver spoon for wood.
