" The Grateful Heart"

Lord help me set aside
All that the world wants me to be
For I am not of this world
Because by You I was forgiven and set free.


The temporary pleasures of this world
Have tried causing me to stray
It tried dimming the light that I shine for You
But was unsuccessful in turning my heart away.


I've been wanting to be something more
Than selfish and full of pride
To be that life among the dead
To show them that they are the reason why You died.


You didn't have to love us
But You did beyond compare
And nothing else will ever add up
To Your compassion and sincere care


You make this life better
And worth living everyday
Not because we love the world, but being patient
Brings us closer to seeing You face to face.


What a Marvelous sight it will be!
Because our sins were forgiven on Calvary
We yearn for the day to arrive
When we reach Heaven's gates,
It is then that we will fully know
What it feels like to be Alive!!
