Category: Religion and Philosophy
Dear God,
First things first – LORD JESUS You are worthy of all glory and all praise. All honor belongs to You. You are the LORD – strong and mighty, mighty in battle. Your kingdom is from everlasting to everlasting, and of Your throne there will be no end. You alone are KING of kings and LORD of lords.
GOD, I have to thank You for all that You’ve done for me. Thank You for saving my soul. Thank You for loosing the chains that were on my mind, body, and soul…chains of lust, chains of poverty, chains of low self esteem. Thank You for loving me enough to live inside of me. Thank You so much for dying for me. While I was still in my sins You died for me…Man, I love You so much! I ain’t never had nobody treat me the way You do. You are too good to be true, yet You are Truth. But Your awesomeness does not hinge on what You’ve done. If You decided to never save me, You’d still be worthy of my praise. If You never died for my sins, You’d still be KING of kings. And if You never do nothing else for me, you’ll still be perfect, just, and righteous. If I never graduate, You’ll still be holy. If I never ever EVER get married, there will still be NONE LIKE YOU!!! If I never make more than $30k a year I’ll still bless You at all times, my knee will still bow to You, and I will always confess that You are LORD of all! If you count me worthy to be persecuted for Your Name’s sake, with my last breath I’ll say, ‘LORD, You’ve been so good to me.’ LORD I love You. I can’t make it, unless I lean on You. I’m so glad Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. PLEASE be pleased with my life, my sacrifice, and my praise. More than my necessary food, LORD – I NEED YOU!!
In Humble Submissiveness and Love,
Your Son – Franco

For the many times I’ve fallen
yet you forgave me
Thank you, Lord I thank you
For unmerited favor, and your brand new mercies
Thank you, How I thank you
For waking me up this morning
For letting me see one more dawning
Thank you, Lord I thank you
I thank you lord
For life, health, and strength
For food and for shelter Thank you
Lord I thank you
If I had ten thousand tongues
It just wouldn’t be enough to say
Thank you, How I thank you
For waking me up this morning
For letting me see one more dawning
Thank you, Lord I thank you
I thank you lord
For saving my soul, for making me whole
For calming my fears, for wiping my tears
And letting me know that I’m not alone
For wakin’ me up this morning
For letting me see one more dawning
Thank You, I thank You, Lord!
I was sinking deep down in sin, far from the peaceful shore (Thank you)
Very deeply, deeply, deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more (Thank You)
But the Master of the sea, He heard my despairing cry (Thank You)
From the waters, from the waters, from the waters, He lifted me!
