Analysis of Love Letter To God
It’s me, your child who has stumbled through life, bruised knees, bleeding heart and all
Here I am again
It amazes me the patience You so graciously have shown me, I know You anticipated my every fall
And here I am again
Each time You allowed me my time to whimper and cry, I licked each and every wound inside and out
Yet here I am again
Slowly but surely each time I’ve picked myself up, dusted off excess rubble, yet whining poured from my mouth
Oh, here I am again
Stubborn and all knowing I have been for far too long and now I am truly tired to walk this same road
Here You are again
You are never changing in Your Love or Your Word that I have read, heard and in my heart I know
And here You are again
The love You have for me will always exceed my understanding but I embrace all that You are
Yet here You are again
No matter how crooked my path I’ve traveled or the pit that engulfed me, You healed all my scars
Oh, here You are again
I am Yours, sometimes broken, sometimes I shine, but Lord with all my heart I want to follow You
My yesterdays You’ve forgiven, Today my faith is trusting Your Will, tomorrow and forever I will walk beside You
Here We Are Together, Amen
Your Child,
Maylinda McRae
