Sea of Love

In this stormy sea that we call life, you calm the waters.

As I drifted along you cushioned each blow that I received.

In the mist of each storm, your light guided me to shelter.

When I was drowning in iniquity, you bathed me with salvation.

When the water became polluted you cleansed it with your blood.

When I floated out to sea, you anchored me with your love.

At times the currant was so strong, it pulled me underneath.

You wrapped your arm around me and held my head afloat.

Through each trial and tribulation, your waves washed me ashore.

You were my life preserver in a sea of lies and deception.

As you gave me the water of life, My Lord, I gladly give you mine.

Dear Karla, today I truly needed to be reminded of the power of God's love and you have just given me the best gift I could ever receive. What a wonderful poem! Been struggling, so this was wonderfully uplifting and it goes to my favorites. How can I thank you for reminding me how much help our Lord can offer? Love, Carolyn
