My life was empty,

Lord, Before I let you in,

Once I did, A new life I did begin,

A life so abundant,

Filled with Faith, And your love,

No more fear,

For I know  that you are always near,

Once I focused solely on you Lord,

And Riches I did receive,

Now that I do believe,

I am rich with not worldly things,

But with "Peace", That only faith in you brings,

Life no longer feels hopeless and bleak,

My soul is calm now, and at peace,

I know My Lords love will never cease,

My ultimate goal is to do Gods will,

And accept what comes may,

Daily I do pray,

When I am happy or feeling blue,

I always enjoy my daily talks with you,

So let me tell you Lord right now,

How Thankful I am,

To have you watching over me,

And my precious family......
