Thank You Lord

Thank You Lord Jesus you laid down your life for me So I put my faith and trust in thee The evil within tries to overtake But I flee and resist for my soul’s sake I stay focused on thy Lord And yield temptations with thy sword I turned from thy sins And new life began Lord, you taught me the way And showed me I was drifting astray Following the wandering sheep That fled at the strike of the Shepherd’s greet You cut down the trees and cleared a path For those who walk it will escape the wrath You planted the field with seeds In hope of sprouting good deeds It is only through your grace and mercy That you give water, for those who drink shall never be thirsty You are thy foundation And deliverance out of salvation You washed the stains from thy robe And filled me with the spirit to stand bold Saving me from death And giving me everlasting breath I wait patiently for the day When the Lord will say My child I am pleased You have endured to the end Now Come On In

This is an outstanding write on your faith in our Lord. I know we face so many trials along the way and our faith sometimes wavers but through his grace and mercy we are forgiven. This will be one of my fav. God Bless Phyl
