My Poem of Praise and Thanksgiving

Sincerely written by Linda Scribner

All glory to God

How did you do it, God?

How could this be?

Where did you get all the salt

for the sea?

Then make the tides rise and fall

All glory to thee.

Then make the world beautiful for

your people to see.

Wonderful, marvelous, what

words can describe your infinite

love for us, there by your side.

I praise thee, I love thee

I scarcely can breathe.

For your wonderful power

All glory to thee.

Where are you now, God?

Where did you go? I feel so

alone now down here below.

"Stop looking above, I am not in

the sky." A voice deep inside me

gave the reply.

My heart jumped with joy

I dried the tears from my eyes.

I praise thee. I love thee

Now why the surprise?

You promised to be here

So in your love we could hide.

All our hurts and our sorrows

And you’ll be our guide.

We will live in your love now

Forever I pray.

You promised to be here,

You promised to stay.

To God be the glory

All praises we send.

To God be the glory.

Forever, Amen.

My Testimony, My Jesus

When I was just a little girl,

I went to Sunday school.

We sat around a table and were taught the golden rule

And when we started singing

There was a song so dear

It is not far to Jesus,

He is everywhere.

My heart went out to find him

They made it sound so clear. It is not far to Jesus

He is everywhere.

Then when I was older

Two or three years or more,

I saw a slide of Jesus

Waiting outside the door

This heart door had no handle

It opened only from within

I threw the door wide open and

Said, "Jesus, come on in.

I want you for my savior

I want you for my guide.

Live in me, Lord Jesus.

And stay here by my side."

I wish I could say life was easy

From that great moment on.

But truth be known it hasn’t been

But God has kept me strong. And through trials and tribulations

Some theirs and some my own.

My Lord is always with me

And I will sing this song.

Early if we seek him, early we shall find.

It is not far to Jesus, blest be the tie that binds.

The End of Our Darkest Night

We need to call on our Savior.

In the midst of our sorrow and gloom,

How can we be light in the sight of our plight?

We need a revival real soon.

We love you and adore you

We come to you in fright.

For you are our brightest morning

At the end of our darkest night.

While evil rolls around us,

There is a peace within.

The solid rock the world did mock

Please, God, still be our friend.

Come to us now, dear Father

Stay close and soothe our pain

While evil grasps his hold on earth,

Heaven is still our gain.

We love you and adore you

We come to you in fright.

For you are our brightest morning

At the end of our darkest night.

So help us to stay in your presence,

To hold on to what’s good and what’s right,

To remember to love one another,

And keep your word in our sight.

Keep us safe from all evil.

Deliver us from all of our sin.

You taught us to pray this, Lord Jesus

All praises to you now we send.

We love you and adore you

You are the prize that we seek.

As you fill our hearts with your love now,

All evil on earth will grow weak.

We love you and adore you

You take away all of our fright.

Blessed be the love that finds us.

At the end of our darkest night.

My Struggle with Forgiveness

The little things are easy to forgive

The things that happen just because we live.

But the bigger things that tear our hearts apart

Are harder to forgive right from the start.

Does forgiveness mean it really doesn’t matter

The evil deed that caused my
