Well as you may have gathered from my bio, I am basically a big kid at heart. Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved to write stories and poetry, with one underlying feature, it must rhyme. This is something that has stuck with me throughout the years, so though it may be elementary I am still able to convey how God’s working in me through these couplets. Here’s one I wrote in my journal about a week ago!
Lord You are so Big, and yet I am so small
You created the universe, why bother with me at all?
You bless me and bless me time and again
Yet I continue and continue walking in sin
On bended knee I come; a heart like yours I desire
Lord show me direction like you did Moses in the fire
Like Adam and Eve Lord I long to walk with you
Like Noah and his family I pray I’m part of the righteous few
Like Abraham Lord I want to abandon it all
Speak to me Lord, so I may follow your call
Like Samuel Lord, here am I
So badly for your presence do I cry
Like Job, oh Lord, I desire to persevere
Your Word, oh Lord, to it I draw near
Like Rahab Lord I have left my former life
For you alone I stand, no matter the pain or strife
Like David Lord I lift up psalms of praise
Like Habakkuk Lord, I’ll stand on the guard post for days
Like these characters and others thank you for their example
If I lived back then, I pray I’d be in the sample
Yes these are my desires Lord, yet from them I’m still so far
Like the Magi at first Lord, I can barely see the star
Yet I know it leads to you, so I trek and seek after
Even though my life may be a complete disaster
Like Peter I deny, and Thomas I doubt
You constantly remind me that it’s Love you’re all about
Death, burial, and resurrection, I’ll never fully comprehend
Lord, it’s in you alone I truly can depend
You deserve all I have, you deserve my whole heart
I am your child Father, You have known it from the start
Please help me overcome insignificance and fear
When times are difficult Lord, help me only to draw near
I am daughter of the King, there is no reason for doubt
From the glorious mountaintop your name I will shout!
Hallelujah, Hosanna, the Almighty King
Abba Father, Yahweh, Adonnay, Elohim
The names to describe you are vast and many
Yet to encapsule all your beauty there are not any
Though you are definitely big, and I am still so small
You sent your one and only son to die for us ALL
Therefore grace and mercy undeserving I received
Adopted, sealed, all because I believed
My life to you, forever do I owe
To you my audience of one, Love to all I want to show
Lead me on in your Almighty plan
Continue to hold me ever tightly in your hand
I praise you, and thank you, and love you ever so
I will spread you word Lord, wherever I may go!
