When I was a small child, we sang a song called Jesus Loves Me. At church today the congregation sang that little song. For me, it was so healing and warm. I wrote this inspired by that child's song which is really very big because of its message.


Abide in Graciousness

Jesus loves me this I know
For He shows me every day
All my days to him belong
As He leads me all the way

Light of the world forever shines
Brighter than the stars above
Deeper than the ocean's depth
Is His fountain of  pure love

All His children does he call
To abide in Graciouness
He's the one who paid the cost
Bestowing his blessedness

Come now all who grieve and want
Burdened with a load of care
He will give you lasting peace
Let him all your burdens bare

I don't know how I missed this. How wonderful. Such a beautiful blessing. It touches my heart and lifts my spirit. God must be speaking because I just finished two spiritual poems. I'm feeling God's spirit moving and I see you are too. Your gift is so great I am sure you are affecting your readers.
