MERCY

MERCY
Feb. 1976
When I think of Thee, My Lord,
And all you've done for me;
I find I can not understand
How this could ever be.
For I know I am not worthy,
That you should look my way;
And yet you always hear me
Every time I pray.
Just being in your presence,
Is joy and rest complete.
You take away my fears,
When e'er I feel defeat.
I pray I never have to bare
A single day without you,
And since you came and took my place,
I know I'll never have to.

I love this! You can tell you love the Lord and he is first in your life! I hear Jesus in you!

What a wonderful compliment, Rose. I do love him very much, that is true. I assume you do too, right?

So sweet and honest. You are a poet divine! I do believe you are before your time. Write on....

Great testament to God's grace. Not looking for justice-only mercy-good write.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
