He spoke his word and it came to pass

He blew breath into my lungs

I know what he has saved me from

He heard all of my cries and allowed me to wait

To teach me patience, endurance, and faith

His love is greater than anything conceivable

His grace is so unbelievable

His word is bond

His love is fond

What a gift for someone to promise you something and always come through

I never expected so much from you

But every single time that I’m down no one knows but you

And you brighten my days and make me love you

All over again I am reborn through His forgiveness

My heart has never been so moved

He healed a spirit that was so bruised

I tell His story because it’s so true

So true that it hurts when people don’t appreciate

Or understand how much His word can alleviate

And compensate for everything we’ve ever done incorrect

For this reason He came to us in the flesh

He is a well of water deep in my spirit springing the best in me

He calms the storms that seek to wreck me and try to stress me

His word is invested in me to progress me

Just when it seems as though He left me He dressed me

In garments of delight

He crowned me with insight and kept my life in plight

In spite of my fallings

His voice kept calling

His child out of the bottomless pit

He brought more than a smile, He brought me a gift

He planted a seed in me, bearing fruit of purpose

I realized that no effort unsuccessful is worthless

For the battle is already won

Let us not forget all that He has already done

Any easy road is not one that He chose

For it’s not the discomfort of roses having thorns, but the beauty that thorns have a rose

I marvel at His magnificence

How He overlooked all of my sin and made it insignificant

How my foolishness made me ashamed

But He set it into a flame

To vanish into thin air

I thought He came to rescue me but the reality is that He was always there

Before my existence, before my enlistment

He was persistent in my upliftment

His word is always consistent and full of enrichment

He persecuted my sin and cancelled my conviction

And even along His path I sometimes stagger

Not knowing what’s the matter

 I collapse and pray

Why would He bless me so, never letting go?

I thank Him because He didn’t have to do it

He didn’t have to bring me through it

And pull me out of danger to set me free

His grace pulsates joy in me

He destroyed to rebuild me and filled me

Teach me, keep me, and comfort me

I’m nothing without you

How could I ever doubt you?

Help my lips to speak about you

So that the next man may bask in your salvation

And be set free, stress free, bless thee

That builds up from your foundation

Your word is all that can save this nation
