 JUST PRAISING THE LORDJesus, you pick me up when I am downreplace my face with a smile when it has a frown You encourage and believe in me, when I have none and wait and watch me until I am done You love me unconditionally even though I have conditions You show me how to love others and see past their faults Tell me to love the sinner and not focus on the sin You will deal in this area, it is not mine to win You tell me that honey will catch bees better than vinegar kind thoughts should be in my heart to be a winner That patience comes to those who will wait Another fine message, if I want to get past the gate Well Jesus, I am glad that you say I am not done I would be discouraged for the things unwon I would look over all my faults and failings it is by grace that I live with you daily The love I feel for You comes quite free I am glad that this is something I can do on my own and the little bit of faith that each one of us has only has to be as big as a mustard seed Thank you Jesus, that you are here with me that You love me so much unconditionally remind me to keep my eyes on You and not on me there are others who need prayers and encouragement Lord I have hope and lots of it, it would seem I have stayed with you, when it has been hard going my hope is for the future that soon I will be with you at home in my place for eternity Amanda Martin-Shaver 15 April 2000 |
