No Sweeter Name

How great is Your

patience

oh Lord!

How You still

Love Me,

how You

put up with me,

I have no clue.

(Because if *I* were You,

I definitely would've hit me

with a lightening bolt

by now)

You are truly beyond my

feeble understanding.

How beautiful You are!

Praise Your holy Name!

You look down at my

life,

down into my

heart

(wicked, deceitful thing!)

and test me,

try me,

show me

who I am

and where I'm at.

You,

in Your

never-ending

GRACE,

hold me close,

and teach me

Your ways.

I am so

awe-struck

by Your

generous nature

that all I can

manage,

in the smallest of voices,

is:

thank You.

Psalm 45:1 [The Message]

"My heart bursts its banks,

spilling beauty and goodness.

I pour it out in a poem to the king,

shaping the river into words."
