I Am Aware Of Thy Love

Oh Lord, my God

Thy love in my heart

Has awakened my spirit

Making it sparkle like the stars in heaven,

With a joy beyond description.

For your love, oh Lord,

Is a necessity that my soul requires

Like the essentials that my body needs.

The air that I breathe

The water that I drink,

The food that I eat.

How sweet it is, oh Lord,

When the day has gone its way,

Leaving darkness in its wake.

I pause to take a few moments

Dedicating my thoughts unto Thee.

As I read Thy word and meditate.

For your word is like a treasure chest,

Filled with so many beautiful things

Glowing with hour glory.

I stand in complete serenity of peace

In the midst of Thy holiness

Covered with your grace

With my humble soul singing

Unto Thee,

How Great Thou Art,’

I kneel down by my bed,

Starting to count the blessings

That came my way.

I softly let my tears say thanks unto Thee

For loving me so. 

Even though I do not understand why?

I am thankful that you do.
