Thank You, my Lord! - Christian poem by Oriza



God is Love!
God blessed our love!!









Thank You, My Lord (by Oriza Martins)

I asked God for water so my thirst would quench…
He gave me rivers, lakes, rain and the sea…

I asked God for music, so my ears would be wrapped.
And by the sounds of nature, I heard birds sing.

I asked God for spectacles so I would feel amused…
And He showed me the lovely enchant of the sun at the dusk…

I asked for a mansion so an old dream would come true
And God embraced me with the arms of a friend.

I asked God for company, so I would not feel lonely…
And He gave me friends, pets and family affection.

I asked God for a remedy to stop my pain…
And he filled my life with pleasures and love…

I asked God the return of those who left us alone…
He showed me that the souls continue among us…

I therefore have nothing to ask You, my Lord…
For You make my deepest dreams come true:
You gave Earth everything that I need!
