What My Lord Is
by Barbara Philbrook

My Lord is my serenity  when life's craziness becomes too much for me,
my Lord is my stabilizer when the road of life is rougher than is comfortable you see.

My Lord is my "peace that passeth understanding" when life's trials become more than I can bear,
my Lord is the comforting ear that listens when I pour out  my emotions in prayer.

My Lord is the dispatcher who sends "Guardian Angels" to protect me from danger,
such as the night I was robbed by a shotgun wielding stranger.

My Lord is the one who comforts me when I'm not sure I have made the correct choice,
my Lord has even blessed me with hearing His "still quiet voice".

My Lord is my teacher, He's taught me to understand His "Holy Word",
my Lord is my constant reminder that I can believe each and every thing about Him that I have ever heard.

My Lord is my Father who created this world in which we live,
my Lord is the one who designed the plan of salvation which he so lovingly offers to give.

My Lord is the way, the truth and the light,
my Lord is the creator of all that is good and all that is right.

My Lord is proof that love, not force, is the best way to succeed no matter what it is you desire to do, my Lord is there waiting to offer this very same depth of love to you.

My lord has prepared a paradise where we will live with him when we are called home to stay,
and the joy of us all being there together is the thing for which I pray.
