Truly Thankful
Today is my birthday,
By now I've seen a few,
I really want to celebrate,
The One who makes, all things new.
I want to spend some time,
With the author of my life.
Who for 54 years,
Has kept me alive.
Precious Jesus I want to thank you,
That to begin with,
I recently learnt my heart,
Beats 60 beats per minute.
I marvelled at this fact,
And thought how faithful You are,
So deep within the core of me,
Wherever I am, You are.
I wake up fresh every morning,
In the comfort of my bed,
Praying and praising You,
For the new day ahead.
Some days I am anxious,
And there are days filled with dread.
But eventually these battles,
Transmute to joy instead.
Precious Glorious Father,
You have been so very faithful,.
I long to be praising You,
All the day through.
May my heart forever sing
In gratitude to You,
For each precious moment,
I am so truly thankful.
Thank you glorious Father,
Precious redeeming Son,
Beloved, lover and love,
Forever three in one.

Certain verses often stand out to me. Ones I would use a "High-lighter" pen on:

Reading this again reminds me of two special poems written for my Birthday. Both were in my birthday card. The 1st was my 26th birthday and then the 2nd poem... exactly 30 years later on birthday 56! by this same author.
ReplyDeleteIf someone asks me when I started writting poetry. I tell them it was that 1st birthday card poem aged 26. I`ve been writing poems ever since...
But not as many as this author ;-)
Beautiful. Xxx
