A Prayer of Thanksgiving

A-Poem-a-Day Until Christmas

SOMETIMES I WISH…
A Prayer of Thanksgiving to my Savior

How can I tell
how can I show
how grateful I am
that You are my Savior?

Sometimes I wish
it was possible to
leave the roast in the oven
the suds in the sink

and follow my heart’s cry
to the land of the Bible
to climb Calvary’s hill
in beautiful Zion

Oh! If it were possible—

I’d fall to my knees
at the foot of the Cross
and wrap my arms tightly
‘round its stained wooden base

and press a trembling cheek
against the old splintered grain
and thank You for Love
so wide and so deep
beyond what I can fathom

then I’d kiss it and weep
kiss it and weep

and whisper, I love You
from the depths of my being
for I’m eternally grateful
Jesus, My Lord
