Find me worthy as a Gift

The Gift

I often marvel how could paradise came to be

Unless Someone wanted it to be

Unless a Word is uttered

Permitted for beauty to dwell in Thee 

Paradise once lived with Love

In just one "no" became a dream

Yet with a trusting 'yes' by a chosen maiden

Heaven once a dream now  a reality

O What a thought of Paradise! Do I ponder a lot? 

Is it a product of my dream? 

Could it be true that I found love?

A love mirrored to the One named Love.

Beloved you created my being

You formed me; you breathed me;

You called me; You lured me.

Whispering You said "Follow me", glad you did!

Adventure beyond adventure!

Trustingly threading the path you showed 

Embracing the unfolding of each day

Tears hidden in the eyes, concealed with the smile 

I cannot say enough 

I gasp at every thought of love

There on the Cross You raised your arms, 

You embraced me and showed me how to love 

What a gift it is 

To be deeply loved by Thee

Humbled to be chosen before time 

Longed for until the end of time

The gift I have received I offer it back 

Take it please if you will, nurture it

Hoping that one day,  

You'll find it worthy as a GIFT.

Dedicating this to someone who is chosen by God...
You are worth to die for!
I love you then...now…tomorrow...forever...
