Thanksgiving Poem

My joy is overflowing
As I live each day for Him
The sweetness of each new day
Fills me to the brim.

I find myself a humble servant
Waiting for His lead
And as I look to heaven
He pours on me all I need.

But when I stumble hard
And look away from His great reign
I fall face down and start anew
So I can give my all again.

What a wondrous Savior that I serve
And who knows me oh so well
He walks along and guides my path
And helps me lift my veil.

I find His love a hovering peace
That rests on me and dwells so deep
And as He smiles and draws me near
I’m urged to sow and also reap.

So I continue my journey and I long for more
A lot more of my Maker and a lot less of me
And His faithfulness helps me charge ahead
I can’t wait for tomorrow for my hope resides in Thee.

Thank you, Lord for grabbing me
Thank you, Lord for holding tight
Thank you, Lord for loving me
I love You back with all my might!
