Well as you may have gathered from my bio, I am basically a big kid at heart. Ever since I can remember, I've loved to write stories and poetry, with one underlying feature, it must rhyme. This is something that has stuck with me throughout the years, so though it may be elementary I am still able to convey how God's working in me through these couplets. Here's one I wrote in my journal about a week ago!
Lord You are so Big, and yet I am so small You created the universe, why bother with me at all? You bless me and bless me time and again Yet I continue and continue walking in sin On bended knee I come; a heart like yours I desire Lord show me direction like you did Moses in the fire Like Adam and Eve Lord I long to walk with you Like Noah and his family I pray I'm part of the righteous few Like Abraham Lord I want to abandon it all Speak to me Lord, so I may follow your call Like Samuel Lord, here am I So badly for your presence do I cry Like Job, oh Lord, I desire to persevere Your Word, oh Lord, to it I draw near Like Rahab Lord I have left my former life For you alone I stand, no matter the pain or strife Like David Lord I lift up psalms of praise Like Habakkuk Lord, I'll stand on the guard post for days Like these characters and others thank you for their example If I lived back then, I pray I'd be in the sample Yes these are my desires Lord, yet from them I'm still so far Like the Magi at first Lord, I can barely see the star Yet I know it leads to you, so I trek and seek after Even though my life may be a complete disaster Like Peter I deny, and Thomas I doubt You constantly remind me that it's Love you're all about Death, burial, and resurrection, I'll never fully comprehend Lord, it's in you alone I truly can depend You deserve all I have, you deserve my whole heart I am your child Father, You have known it from the start Please help me overcome insignificance and fear When times are difficult Lord, help me only to draw near I am daughter of the King, there is no reason for doubt From the glorious mountaintop your name I will shout! Hallelujah, Hosanna, the Almighty King Abba Father, Yahweh, Adonnay, Elohim The names to describe you are vast and many Yet to encapsule all your beauty there are not any Though you are definitely big, and I am still so small You sent your one and only son to die for us ALL Therefore grace and mercy undeserving I received Adopted, sealed, all because I believed My life to you, forever do I owe To you my audience of one, Love to all I want to show Lead me on in your Almighty plan Continue to hold me ever tightly in your hand I praise you, and thank you, and love you ever so I will spread you word Lord, wherever I may go!
