Written By: © Kimberly Ann Oh Heavenly Father I glorify you name No other has loved me so And taken away my shame Oh Heavenly Father I shall praise you all my days You've never given up on me And help to mend my ways Oh Heavenly Father On my knee I pray before you My thanks I try to express As you make my soul anew. Ode to Jesus So little I know about you But the little I do know Makes me eternally grateful You left your place on the right hand of God to become human You walked amongst thieves, adulteresses, prostitutes, and the lowest of low You offered salvations and healing to those who would listen You were bruised for my iniquity You suffered an unjustly trial and conviction You allowed them to place on you many stripes to which allowed me to be healed You suffered chastisement for my peace You were wounded for my transgressions Before I even knew you, you loved me There are so many names people call you I no longer have to see myself as a filthy rag because through you I am like Isaac, a child of the promise. I am accepted by God as a child of a free woman by my faith I feel like I am constantly traveling hills and valleys through you are there You never left me You were there when no one else could or would be You wiped my tears and eased my soul You spoke to my spirit like on one else would You cease my mind for the many thoughts that prevented me from sleeping I can call on you at anytime and know you will answer I love to worship and praise you I place my soul in thy hands Written By: © Genta Return to the Writing Challenges Main Page The entire contents of this site is copyrighted.
