A-Poem-a-Day
Until Resurrection Day
SOMETIMES I WISH…
A Prayer of
Thanksgiving to my Savior
How can I
tell
how can I
show
how grateful
I am
that You are
my Savior?
Sometimes I
wish
it were
possible to
leave the
roast in the oven
the suds in
the sink
and follow my
heart’s cry
to the land of
the Bible
to climb
Calvary’s hill
in beautiful
Zion
Oh! If it
were possible—
I’d fall to
my knees
at the foot
of the Cross
and wrap my
arms tightly
‘round its
stained wooden base
and press a trembling
cheek
against the
old splintered grain
and thank You
for Love
so wide and
so deep
beyond what I
can fathom
then I’d kiss
it and weep
kiss it and
weep
and whisper, I love You
from the
depths of my being
for I’m
eternally grateful
Jesus, My
Lord
