I like writing poetry but I’ve never been comfortable with letting other people read what I’ve written. I figured it was time to take a few steps beyond normal and share one of my poems. This one seemed appropriate for the season. It is actually a song, but since I have no clue how to write music, I mostly just sing it in the shower.

Amazingly

Amazingly His grace pours down over me,
His love embracing tenderly.
Surrounded by the blessings He’s given so free,
the warmth, the truth, how can I not see?

He lives, He loves, He gives so much.
There’s forgiving kindness in His touch.
He lives, He loves, a troubled soul like me
and fills me with serenity.

Amazingly His blessings continue to flow,
and walking with Him allows me to grow.
My troubled past behind me, He gives hope for tomorrow,
my worries on His shoulders, so relieved that I know,

He lives, He loves, He gives so much.
There’s forgiving kindness in His touch.
He lives, He loves, a troubled soul like me
and fills me with serenity.

Amazingly His love is for the great and small,
He lifts us up if we stumble and fall.
When life’s full of darkness, we need to recall
the light from His love shines down on us all.

He lives, He loves, He gives so much.
There’s forgiving kindness in His touch.
He lives, He loves, a troubled soul like me
and fills me with serenity.

Amazingly my God will always care,
And when my life fills with despair,
I drop down on my knees in silent prayer because I know He’s always there.

He lives, He loves, He gives so much.
There’s forgiving kindness in His touch.
He lives, He loves, a troubled soul like me
and fills me with serenity.
