Thank You Lord

You are the light in my dark heart 
That I inherited devoid of spark
You are the joyful tone in silver song
That catchy yellow melody well known
You are the spark in a baby’s eye
That wrinkle of a twinkle that heart’s delight 

How do I praise you with my tattered tongue
Words are not beautiful enough where I’m from
How do I serenade you with my heavy heart
Knowing you are destined you are a holy star
How do I follow you when I stumble so clumsily 
How do I swallow you communion hearts bleed

I am not worthy but you made it right
You died on a cross for me you are Christ
Thank you for your love for your sacrifice 
Thank you sweet lord for every day every night

“ I am not worthy but you made it right.” Karen!! I like a poetess like you who has a truly humble and grateful heart. This truly impresses me. Couplet This has to be a warm favorite for me! In a world that lives in such dark duplicity. Hugs, Pangie

Thank you for your sweet comment! I don’t write these much as I feel my words are just not good enough to praise him!
