NEVERTHELESS

There was darkness that surrounded my vision.-Still you promised to be there,to light my way.You gave me hope-a new way to have a mission.Please forgive me for the times I didn`t trust you.Yes,Lord-you unfailing love was always there.-Nevertheless.....Turmoil caused my life to constantly fall apart.Never did I think to ask for your help and guidance.But-there you were,to enter into the depths of my heart.I should have asked you to stay, and be my savior.No,Lord-I wasn`t worthy,but you were patient.-Nevertheless.....You sent angels to protect me,in that day,when I was young and my feet were on sinful soil.Even then,there wasn`t anything anyone could say.And yet,you answered prayers I didn`t even utter.Thank you,Lord-that you claimed me as your child.-Nevertheless......I neglected the meaning of your word,written long ago.But you set forth,on gossamer wings,and came down to me.Then,you touched my heart,and dwelled within, to set it aglow.Your everlasting love never ceases.-Nevertheless.......And when sorrow abounded,and my son died,you sent a beautiful hymn to comfort and sooth me,a golden cord for me,alone, to sing -but instead,I just cried.There wasn`t any doubt,you meant to bring me closer to you.You were my comfort,Lord-you said you`d never leave me.-Nevertheless......Even when I was troubled,and sometimes couldn`t fall asleep -I wasn`t aware of your presence,not did I seek to find you.But still,you cared and sought me-like one lost sheep.Then,a peace fell over me that was beyond my comprehention,I was blessed,Lord-You brought me back to your flock.-Nevertheless.....I know you`ll be with me at the close of each new day,if ever I`m in the midst of misgiving or judgement-I`ll just start anew-to ask forgiveness,for losing my way.-And once again,your love will fill my soul with joy.What`s more-your amazing grace will be sufficient enough for me.-Nevertheless.
