God is good!

I turn around and look
from my earliest memory to now,
every decision made, whatever I did,
every step that I took, every word spoken,
from the time I was born,
You were there with me.

Prior to my birth, now and to my death,
You were, are and will be by my side.
Even before I knew You,
You cared for me.
Through the years You nurtured me with Your own hands.

When I fell, You picked me up.
When I was blind You shed light.
When I couldn’t hear You spoke.
When I was dead You gave me life.

I just want to thank You, dear Jesus
for every moment that I live,
for my creation to experience Your presence,
for every perfect sunrise,
for the wind that caress my face,
for those You placed around me.

“Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Do I put faith into action or simply do the talk?
Does the world appeal to me
and I shame to profess my love to You?
Do I devote precious time to You or just brief moments?
Do I feed on Your word or merely utter a few praises?
Do I keep away from sin or secretly indulge in temptation?
Do I have You in mind who gave His only Son?
Have mercy on me O Lord,
for there is no where I can hide from You
and no mysteries unknown to You.

Why would You choose to save us who despised You?
To reverse the fall by becoming man.
To be tempted, mocked and killed.
When those nails were driven in,
You knew the end.

I marvel at Your great love.
You are the Alpha and Omega,
the creator of all things,
the rock on which I stand,
the foundation of the church,
my pillar of strength and comfort,
the way, the truth and the life,
the bread of life,
the salvation,
the righteous judge.

You are the king of all kings,
crowned with glory and clothed in majesty
who sits on the throne.
You are who is to come.
To God be the glory!
