Thanks

I deserved it.
I forgot Your grace,
I forgot Your mercy.
I was ready to throw away
all You had given to me.
The beautiful house,
the wonderful neighborhood,
the loving family,
my talents, ambitions and abilities,
were all lost,
Almost.
But You came through,
You guided me towards
the destiny You wanted for me.
You saved me from the inferno
which for years I marched towards,
blindly.
It is by Your grace,
Lord Jesus,
That I am here to offer my sincere
and heartfelt
Thanks.

You could have easily
left me for dead.
But time after time,
You were there.
You did not have to save me;
You did not even have to
acknowledge my suffering.
But not only did you
acknowledge it,
You saved me from it.
So I offer you
my dear Lord Jesus,
my sincere and heartfelt
Thanks.
