My great God

I know what a great privilege it is
For one such as thee to incline thine ear to me
To look upon one without much honor
Not upon what i am but what you would have me to be
You lead and guide with your mercy
And with such perfect grace you deem to look upon my face
I who am the least of the weakest clan
And the very air that I breathe is your exhaled grace
Father in heaven how i love you
You have heard my pleas whilst down upon my knees
I live because of your good pleasure
And have discovered a love that’s deeper than the waters of the seas
A Call To The Remnant

Brother Frank…….What a deep truth you have expressed here in this wonderful piece of poetry. That last line says it all….”And have discovered a love that’s deeper than the waters of the sea.” People are not born with the kind of love that you are describing here, nor is that kind of love acquired through interaction with other people such as ones family. The kind of love you are talking about here is DISCOVERED. I discovered that kind of love after nearly a lifetime here on this earth. That kind of love is discovered by seeking God with all of your heart, mind, and strength. It is a crucified life. Good word brother.
