Oh Lord, My God

Good morning, my blog readers. 

Father, we thank you for your tender

Mercy and your loving care

Lord, we thank you for being mindful of us

And for tending us when we are in despair.

When our world is reeling and we

Find no consolation within

We thank You for guiding us through sweet remembrance 

 Leading us to Your thrones feet and 

For removing every encumbrance.

When the walls of our fortress of comfort

Have been hauled down

Thank You for being the God 

Who holds us in Your hand just like

You did the Israelites in the days of old

When You thundered with Your voice and said, "Behold!

These are mine and you will touch them not

For I am their Maker and they are a people to Me

Back up, Oh man, for I have chosen them above all humanity"

And then to show that You meant just what you said

You fixed the oppressors a watery sleeping 

Place on a bed in the depths of the sea

Oh Lord, my God, we, each one,  are so thankful to

Be able to say, "My Father, the Creator of heaven

Is mindful of me!"

Doing What I Can, While I Can,
