06.

O’ Lord, Your laws are beautiful

Your precepts are good

They teach me what is right

They show me what is wrong.


Yet they reveal but a glimmer of Thy holiness

For my Lord is greater than these

Thy presence is absolute

Thy grace and mercy overflows


O’ Lord, You are my guide in darkness

In this neverending road of thorns

You heal me and restore me

My light when evil seeks to consume me.


I put myself to death with my thoughts and sins, O’ Lord

My frail wings I clipped mercilessly

But Your blood and tears wash me clean

O’ Lord, Your love sets me free.


You lift me up O’ Lord upon loving hands

You hold me close as I weep and repent

There is no greater joy for You to see me return

In humility into Your welcoming presence.


Oh how great is my Lord

Whose beauty my pen fails to describe

Whose abounding love and mercy

My tiny heart cannot even begin to comprehend.


Blessed is the Lord Almighty

Praise be the highest to Your name

How lovely is my Lord

Whose beneath Thy holy banner I will stay.

Reading your poems I am just struck anew by the loveliness of our Lord and Lover of our souls. Thank you so much Cindy. Your heart cries out for Him with a passion and intimacy that is truly moving. Keep drawing closer to Him! Keep pouring out your heart to Him! He delights in your worship.. it's such sweet perfume to Him. Take care and may the joy of the Lord be your strength always.
