The Gift of Life

Lord I thank you that i'm alive
it's a miracle i'm here as two syblins either side of my birth did not survive,
some of my family used to be cruel
and some people tried to make me feel it was a mistake that I was born
but I know you'd never leave me  alone or forlon
you brought me into the world for a purpose
and you're the reason that I live
and my life and my heart to you i'll always freely give
some words hurt they can cut deeper than any knife
but regardless of what things they did  do or say I thank you for the Gift of life
Lord you're the one that I adore
you are my rock and my strength  and nothing can hurt me any more. 

Lord thank you for your gift of life and now my children are set free too
we belong to you and nothing can seperate us from the love of you. thank you that my 
children are born of you, they gave their life to you today   Amen

we are all here for as purpose, each and every single person is special to God he loves 
every one no matter what, don't let others tell you that you were a mistake, God brought you 
here for a purpose and you are his world he thinks the world of you, he gave you life and he 
will give you eternal life, and his peace he leaves you.  SHALOM means peace but  also 
means total wholeness  nothing missing nothing broken. Amen.
