A Letter to God

Posted by Jonathan Trentham

God,

You more than anyone, know my own heart.
You hear my own thoughts and know when I start,
To drift from your will and pick my own ways.
As I begin making the plans for my days.

I had not surrendered all unto you
I hold on to some things, and want to be new.
But you did not ask for most all of me.
You wanted it all, and now, that I see.

But I never expected that it would require
The one very thing, I so often desire.
To make my own plans and pick my own end
But I dont seem to know what’s around the bend.

Each day you surprise me with your amazing plan
And it makes me look back to where I would have ran.
I can finally see that you know what is better
So I am taking some time to write you this letter.

A letter to thank you for all that you’ve done
In protecting me from times when my flesh would have won
I cant thank you enough for all that you do
And all the things you’ve done that I never knew

Too often I try to jump to conclusions
About what you have for me, but its only illusions
I’m so very thankful that you use your kind hand,
To guide me through each day in this very strange land.

God, You are my world

God, You are my world.

You are a rising sun.
You bring me a new hope in you.
You offer me the opportunity to become something amazing.
You warm me with your sight;
and give me the chance to start anew.

You are a cool breeze.
You refresh my very being.
You renew my body and soul.
You clear my mind;
and cause me to rejoice.

You are a strong foundation.
You allow me to become more than what I am.
You lift me up to show yourself to others.
You keep me true to who I am;
and never let me fall.

You are a mighty ocean.
You go deeper than I can fathom.
You run broader than I have ever reached.
You are more powerful than all of man combined;
and yet withhold your wrath from upon us.

You are a shining light.
You comfort me when I am scared.
You expose the unknown in me both good and bad.
You guide my feet;
and welcome me home.

You are a great forest.
You supply me when I build.
You bring me shade when I get weary.
You color the my land during fall season;
and create new life in me from old.
