Without
God
by
Barbara Philbrook
Without
God, I am nothing at all.
Without His grace I would surely fall.
Without
the Spirit, I would loose my way.
I need to surrender every day.
Without
God, there'd be no love to share,
for I don't have the ability to care.
Without
the gifts of our Heavenly Father,
life would be so much harder.
Without
the word to strengthen my faith to believe,
there would be no way the strife to relieve.
Without
the promise that by His stripes He will heal,
my strength would recede and I'd give in to what I feel.
But God
opened my eyes that I could see.
I accepted salvation and won the victory.
Now it is
not by my strength that I stand.
God holds me up in the palm of His hand.
I now have
a Teacher and Guide to show me the way,
as long as I surrender day by day.
I now love
not by the caring of a human heart,
but upon acceptance God's pure love did start.
Life is
easier to live you see,
because of the gifts my heavenly Father gave to me.
The Bible
gives me the faith to believe,
and therefore all my strife it does relieve.
I no
longer have to give in to how bad I may feel.
God promises by Jesus' stripes I am healed.
Without
God, life wouldn't hold any happiness for me,
but in Him I now look forward to eternity.
