Thank You, Lord

Thank You Lord

Thank you Lord, for my sorrows and woes;
and all of my emptiness; you fill;
thank you, too; for my failures; exposed;
equip me to follow your will.

Forgive me, Lord; when I boast of success;
as failure, lurks round the bend;
visit me; with well deserved duress;
allowing your grace to descend.

Please forgive; when you find me wanting;
for you know every weakness I have;
don’t desert me with my enemies taunting;
for only you have the healing salve.

Make me vigilant; as the temptress draws near;
don’t make success my goal;
quench all the flames of my every fear;
I’m a child of the Master’s soul.

When I grow weary, Lord; give me your rest;
allow all my troubles; release;
when I am strong; put me to the test;
then; grant me your lasting peace.

Thanks for pushing me beyond I can bear;
then lifting me up when I fall;
forgive me Lord, for all troubles, I share;
for you are the Lord of All.

When, at last, I succumb to never ending shame;
and a troubled world leaves me standing alone;
Lord, give me the strength to accept all the blame;
and send your angels to guide me back home.
