Lynnie's Song


Lynnie's Song.....

​

Father,

this is my love song;

that I sing to you.

You picked me up

when I was down!

You loved me

when love was what I needed most!

You gave me strength,

when all I felt

was weakness.

​

You gave me understanding,

when my heart

was full of hate!

Your love shone

through with compassion,

when bitterness was all I felt!

Your love,

gave me direction,

when in my soul

confusion and anger reigned.

​

Father,

you have in my life

replaced;

down with up,

weakness

with strength,

sorrowful soul

with joyful heart,

confusion with clarity,

bitterness with love,

sadness with happiness.

​

Father,

as I stand

on this the stage of life,

I sing abundantly

this love song to YOU.

My Lord,

hope,YOU have given me,

and helped me fly,

like an eagle on high.

​

To YOU,

my gentle, patient,

loving Father,

I sing my love song.
