Father God ©

I wish that I
Could see You,
The way I
See me in the mirror
Looking back at me.

I wish that I
Could feel Your touch,
The way I
Feel my hand
Upon my brow.

I wish that I
Could hear You
The way I
Hear my voice
Sing Your praise.

But for now,
In the midst
Of darkness,
I see You
In the morning light.

In the midst of sorrow,
I hear Your words
Of comfort
In the song
Of the Dove

In the midst
Of longing,
I feel You
In the whisper
Of the wind.

Deep within
My yearning heart
Is the joy that
Comes from knowing
You are and You will.

Thank you,
Father God
For loving me
So very much,
That it hurt You.

Thank you
Father God,
For Your
One and only Son,
Jesus.

Thank you
Father God,
For loving me
When I fail
To love you.

Thank you for
Being steadfast,
When I fail
To be steadfast
for you.

Thank you for
Never giving up on me.
When I have
given up
On myself.

Thank you for
Your Grace of Salvation
When it is a price
I can not pay.
