When I think of Jesus,i think of
Loving arms,big brother protection
I think of assurance in doubtful times
I see a place of calm and peace
tranquility my little faith cannot conjure up
I think of calm acceptance,flaws and all
I see healing of my weary heart
Rejuvenation,renewal,rebirth
I see gates wide open,i see a shining light
I see my Father seated on a golden throne
And me childlike,unbound by society’s norms,
Seated on His lap,telling Him
Father,i know I have not been the model daughter
I have neglected you,relegated you to the back of my mind,
I have only telephoned once or twice a month,
And even then the calls have been brief,
I have not asked how you are,
Have just told you what I wanted,forgot about needs,
I have allowed our bond to weaken,too busy with life,
I have not lived my life the way you raised me,
Have scorned the commandments you gave to guide me in this wicked,wicked, world
I have spurned all you ever told me and chosen the way of the world
I have chosen uncertainty over the assurances you gave me
I have chosen hurtful and demanding embraces over the unconditional love you give,
I have walked the path of fear,forsaking the valley of peace
I have doubted my success,refusing to claim as mine all that is below the heavens,
I have lived like a prodigal,but Father,i want to come home
I want my banquet,call out to all that your daughter is back!!!!
Let there be feasting and celebrating,
But before all this,hold me in your arms Father,
Let me experience once again that love I once felt
Let me bathe in the light of your glory
Let me occupy again that old familiar place that once was my home
When I walked in your counsel
Let me thank you for the sacrifice you made for me,for me ,even for me!!!!
The sacrifice that bought back the life I had gambled away,
Thank you Father,i love You
I am humbled by Your love,and I love being loved by You
So much so that you gave up your world to save me
Poor wretched sinful me,but I have been cleansed
By that blood that fell on Calvary
I am born anew,and claim my rightful place as the daughter of a King
Bought by the blood of the lamb,redeemed by your undying love
I am overcome by love for You
Still,i know it is not even a fraction of the love You have for me
You have made me worthy of that love
And I will use my work to praise You all the days of my life
