Thanksgiving Unto Jesus

Thou knowest the number of hairs upon mine head.

Thou hath loved me before I knewest Thee.

For so long hath I wandereth into the shadows of the yawning abyss;

For so long hath I stumbleth upon the obstacles of life.

I screameth and rageth

Against the blackened ink

Of mine empty heart.

This loneliness hath becometh

A burden upon

Mine weakened soul.

Turneth I with ignorance to false gods

And turneth I with foolishness to death.

I sought to endeth mine life

But Thou,

Thou hath turneth the blades away from mine veins.

I could not understand,

So I tried to runneth from Thee.

I rejected Thee

And wrought horrendous pain unto Thee;

But Thou standeth by mine side,

Patiently waiting fro me.

Mine eyes were blind to Thy loving gaze

And mine ears were deaf to Thy forgiving voice.

I was numb to Thy comforting touch

And I believeth I was for ever alone.

Thou hath kept calling to me,

Beckoning me.

No longer could I resist.

I was an empty husk,

That floateth in the empty void.

Thou hath openeth mine eyes to Thy mercy.

Thou hath unblocketh mine ears to Thy truth.

Thou hath filleth me with Thy holy presence.

I sought acceptance,

Thou hath rewardeth me with a place in Thy kingdom.

I sought forgiveness,

Thou sheweth me the true meaning of love.

I sought satisfaction,

Thou hath been faithful upon Thy promises.

I sought truth,

Thou willingly giveth it to me.

For this am I grateful beyond measure.

Thou art the only one worthy

To love

To worship

To praise.

Forgive me, O Lord, of mine wretched sins.

Looketh upon me with Thine mercy

And sheltereth me with Thine wings.

Lord Jesus Christ,

To Thee do I willingly concedeth everything that I am.

To Thee would I gladly die for

Because Thou hath loveth me exceedingly.

Thou died upon the cross for me,

For Thee do I live.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,

Amen.
