God, Our Father, Father of all fathers, <br />We thank you for the innumerable gifts you give <br />You bless us with the sunrise and the sunset <br />We'll thank you and praise you as long as we live. <br /> <br />If not for you, El Shaddai, Abba, God and Father, <br />We would never have been born nor ever know you; <br />You have loved us with an everlasting love for all time <br />We shall praise you ~ and glorify your Holy Name, too. <br /> <br />To reconcile us to yourself, you sent your only Son <br />To save us from the slavery of evil and of all sin; <br />If not for your love and plan in the fullness of time, <br />We shudder at the thought of where we might have been. <br /> <br />Your glory shines all around and about you, Father; <br />Your radiance and majesty fill us with joy and elation <br />When we contemplate your goodness and mercy <br />We praise you with unbridled jubilation <br />and <br />We await in anticipation <br /> the grand celebration <br />When with the mighty trumpet blast <br />You will come again, at last <br />And take us to the place you have prepared <br />Simply because you cared <br />For us, <br /> <br />lowly children... <br /> <br />O FATHER, <br /> <br />THANK YOU <br /> <br />and <br /> <br />PRAISE YOU <br /> <br /> for ever and ever! <br /> <br />AMEN!<br /><br />Carmela Patterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-our-father/
