Homage
by
Barbara Philbrook
We have gathered
together to pay homage today,
to our Heavenly Father for blessing us in such a
magnanimous way.
We lift our
hands as we surrender our heart,
we invite You Dear Father to come and take part.
We acknowledge
our incompetence and our inability,
to become anything useful unless made so by Thee.
We want You to
know we love and adore You,
and bow down now Father humbly before You.
Thank You Father
for Blessing us day by day,
Thank You also for guiding us on our way.
Thank You for
the food that we eat,
and for supplying the clothing from our head to our feet.
Thank You for
all of the wonderful things that You do,
Father we wish to thank You for our trials too.
Thank You for
the pain which helps us to understand,
when another is suffering and needs a helping hand.
Thank You for
the tribulation and for helping us to know,
that perseverance helps our Character to grow.
Thank You for
helping us to sing praises during adversity,
we know we couldn't do so if it weren't for Thee.
Thank You for
the assurance we will one day be coming home,
and that no one who calls will be left here alone.
Thank You for
the word that teaches us all about You,
and assures us each word we read is honest and true.
Thank You for
the Holy Spirit being our Comforter and Guide,
and for allowing us to invite Him within to abide.
The homage we
offer is inadequate it's true,
but Father we want You to know how much we Love You.
