I Love You, God


I love You, God, not just because... You let me have a life...
Or just because You blessed me with... My children and my wife
...But also, God, because Your grace... Is guiding me each
day...And You are helping me to reach... The goal for which
I pray... Because You sort of overlook... The faults there are
in me... And give me one more chance to gain... Your great
eternity...Because You understand me, God...No matter
what I do... As long as I am constant in... My loyalty to You
... And that is why I try to live... In humbleness or fame...
According to the glory of... Your everlasting name.
