Thank You Lots, LORD!
By
Christian Belyea
O LORD!
You are the Best Friend I have…the Best Friend I have ever had…
No one compares to you—to your compassion, consideration, caring, and kindness.
Why, You even dearly dote on me!
Me of all people!!!
And when I was only in Your imagination, You loved me,
And You proved it by bringing me forth into being…
You also proved it by paying the penalty for my sins through Christ on that cross!
Yes, You wove me together in my momma’s womb,
Tailored my character through the tapestry of time…
Yes, troubles and tears have been my lot,
But that’s because You love me—a lot!
You loved me too much to leave me that way.
And so, You chiselled my character and hewed my rock-hard heart
Till I walked righteously before You,
Making Your eyes brim over with tears of joy.
Wow, LORD! I am a lot like my Savior now!
Who knew?!
And I am so grateful to You for doing all of it.
Yes, You, LORD, get the glory. Not me.
All the self-help books in the world made me weary not righteous.
I am Your handiwork, and how my heart hammers with joy over that fact.
God loves me—He really does!
Thank You for Your love, LORD…
Thank You for all the blessings You bestow on me:
I have a handsome home;
I have comely clothes;
I have fistfuls of food;
And plenty of delights to drink—And all because I sought God first, and His righteousness, so all these things were added unto me.
How gracious You are…You reward the tiniest tidbit on our part.
How grateful I am, even for the little things,
Like a kitty cat who is crazy about me,
Like faithful friends You have put forth in my life,
Like the job You let jump my way,
And for holding my hand—even when I didn’t feel You doing it.
That’s because when You are silent, You are surreptitiously up to something…
Something good in our lives!
How I long to meet You face to face, Father,
And heave myself into Your open arms;
And get to kiss the cheek of my Creator,
Who, too, longs to wrap His loving arms around me in person…
How I love Thee, O LORD!
And I bless Thee, too, with a thankful heart…
Yeah, me again…
That kid of Yours, the one You dote on,
Christian
