But, God is kinder than I thought; <br />He helped me win battles I fought; <br />From traps in life when I was caught, <br />A freedom, easily I got. <br /> <br />He cools me when I am quite hot; <br />Improves my destiny and lot; <br />He put me in a lofty slot, <br />Although I am an ‘earthen pot’! <br /> <br />He gives me yet, another start, <br />And does great things, as if by art; <br />I pray that He must never part <br />From me, till I, from earth depart. <br /> <br />‘Give me O God, a love-filled heart; <br />Reduce the pain of things I cart; <br />More thankful I must be and ought, <br />And not allow my soul to rot! ’ <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 10-13-2008<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thank-god-for-his-love-and-mercy/
