Because You Loved Me

“You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was I me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith ‘coz you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me”

As I listen to Celine Dion’s song it becomes evident just how much truth is woven into the words, a painful reminder of who I was… or… who I wasn’t. And it also becomes obvious that though the power of Jesus Christ my pride was crushed and juice of humility squeezed out.

‘You gave me wings and made me fly
Your touched my hand I could touch the shy
I lost my faith, your gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I’m grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don’t know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you”

How can I thank you, Lord Jesus, for all You have done?

“For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I’ll be forever thankful Lord
You’re the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You’re the one who saw me through thourgh it all”

How can I show my appreciation for all You have done?
How can I keep You as the center of my life?
For this I pray.
Amen.
