Heaviness
of Heart
by
Barbara Philbrook
Lord I'm
experiencing some heaviness of heart today,
I offer you praise and honor in hopes of chasing it away.
There is
no sickness of any new kind,
no reason for depression to enter my mind.
Yet
heaviness of heart is what I am feeling just now,
so I present it to you Lord as you have taught me how.
I lift my
voice in praise of your most precious name,
I offer honor and glory to the very same.
I say
praise you Father for the sun that shines,
and thank you for the gift of making words rhyme.
Thank you
for the very air I breath,
and thank you for providing my every need.
Thank you
for the roof over my head,
and for the fact that I sleep in a clean warm bed.
Thank you
for the clothes I wear,
and that when I pray you always hear.
Thank you
for the church I am able to attend,
and that in my life there are less people I offend.
There once
was a time I offended most I met,
and now Dear Lord I say little I regret.
Thank you
Father for caring about me,
thank you for making me all I can be.
Thank you
too for the heaviness of heart,
so much more I appreciate the peace you impart.
