Thank You Lord
By Janice Ramkissoon
Dear Lord,
Making life better was my desire
In sin so long, guilt is all I feel
Forgetting that you decide the future
And all that I desire
At a standstill I am
Realising I cannot make it alone
Before you I stand,
In your presence I belong
Remove the wall I have created
Separating you from me
I need to hear you once more
Lord, let your presence flow
Please take my hand and lead me home
For here I stand, surrendered
Here I am empty, craving to be your child once more
Please accept me and lead me home
I know I’ve never been alone
For now I see, there were obstacles you helped me over;
Helping hands, when I needed friendship as a shoulder
Extended hands of friendship, when my strength was failing
In the sand of my life I saw footprints –
Though I couldn’t make it on my own
You were always there carrying me through.
And so I thank you Lord – please make me anew.
Amen.
