I Didn't Know

I didn’t know who I was,

until I met You.

Who I could be,

what I could do.

You gave me life,

a reason to be.

Taught me the value

of just being me.

I didn’t know about loving,

how Love ought to be.

Forgiving, and growing,

the way you Love me.

Forever,

all weather,

sunshine and rain.

You put all the pieces

together again.

I missed all the flowers.

The bird song.

The sky.

So lost in the darkness,

it all passed me by.

I missed all the wonder.

Gifts from above.

Joy in the Giving.

The Power of Love.

Now I am so thankful,

tho some, reason why.

You taught me, in all things,

to Praise God on high.

Showered in Mercy,

My heart made new.

I didn’t find me Lord,

Until I found You.

Pouring

Let my life

be one of Grace.

Helping others

find their place.

In a world

so fraught with pain.

Gentle shelter,

from the rain.

Fill me Lord

to pour again.

Let my heart

be ever pure.

Through it all

may Love endure.

In a world

so often cold.

A friend to all

and hand to hold.

Let my smile

light someone’s day.

Blow some heartache

far away.

Lift a burden

to my cross,

and be a guide

for someone lost.

Bring some joy

in all I do.

Pour me out

To Fill anew.

Elizabeth
