Dear Jesus,
When I remember – it is not I
who kindles the gentleness, the humble light
When I remember – it is not my own heart
who ignites the kindness, the stirring of amazing
when I remember – it is not me
who reflects God’s wonderful, on the song
on the faith, on the serenity and praise….
When I remember – it is not I
who sings of forgiveness, grace and peace
when I remember – it is the love of my God
who trembles within me,
when I pour out my heart, when I know
what it is to love beyond my own
understanding, my own selfish dreams
When I remember – it is love that lives
because of Him, my heart’s greatest friend
When I remember – it is not I
who lives to give a part of the gift
that He gave when He saved me –
the gift that He brought to life,
when He restored my spirit’s light
the gift that is His sacrifice, His life
brought to earth to silence the greed,
brought to show the world
that love can overcome whatever is…
Love can overcome
the fears and the tears,
the worries and the pain
the struggles with shame
the trouble when I blame
Love can overcome
the depression and despair
the winds of deadly doubt
the seas who drip with black
the distance between….
Hope and desolation
Joy and anguish
Grace and gruff
Gladness and sadness
Glorious and reprehensible
Love can overcome,
Leaving the heart with the SON
Who knows – His love has won
His love is brighter than the sun
His love is the peace that comes
When a heart gives up its pride
And learns to let love be the guide,…
Dear Jesus,
I’m so thankful You’re mine
Dear Jesus,
I’m so thankful You’re alive
Dear Jesus, - I love YOU – You’re my life!
