As I Sit

As I sit and hear my mind

And think of all the things I've seen,

And realize that my life's been driven

Converted in every way and mean.

 

It gives me so much reason to ponder

I think of how my blessings greet me

God reaches for me; it’s such a wonder

Why has He been so good to me?

 

Life has hit me with some stumbling blocks

Sometimes I fear they will mow me over.

God has always been my most solid rock

When I let go and let Him, my battles He takes over.

 

The greatest lesson He has taught me

One I've learned that takes all my heart

Is loving everyone unconditionally

Trusting in him totally and never in part.

 

How blessed am I to bear my trial,

A fruitful lesson I cannot deny….

The awesomeness of His strength to my avail

His Grace and Mercy within me lies.

 

As I sit and hear my mind

And think of all He’s given me

I have to give Him all the praise

And know that he will pilot me.
