To You and For You, Lord

Good morning, folks. Hope this starts a beautiful day for you. Don't forget to begin your day with prayer. And what do I always say after that..."You will find a loving father waiting there." That is true and has been true down through the ages. So, I thought that I would pen a poem of praise to Him and for Him for His glory, for it all belongs to Him.

For every blessing that you have bestowed

For every trap that you have sprung

For every breath that You have given

Every beat of my heart says, 

"To You, my God be the glory," because

By you were all things begun.

For every line of poetry that you allow me to pen

The glory that flows across the parchment

Shouts Your name and Your love to all men.

The fact that I am penning this is an attesting to Your Majesty

Because You allowed Your glory to flow to, through 

And from a little nobody like me 

Who happens to love, worship, and adore You.

You, Father, gave me the gifts that I display

And use to encourage my fellowman everyday

Majestic Father, Lord above

Thank You for the issuance of Your love

That spreads your amazing grace

In this world, covering every place.

So thank You, Lord, for Your glory

That spreads itself across screen and parchment

As I canvas this world and tell my story

For You and to You, my God, be the glory!
