These Humble Words 8-13-12

My Lord and Savior, hear my heart -

a heart that can't ignore,

Your love that chased me all my life

and proved to be much more...

Much more than rain drops from above

that fall from all around,

collecting in the ponds and lakes

and oceans that abound.

Much more than luscious meadows, green

where horses romp and play

much more than cool, clear bubbling brooks

where little ponies lay.

Much more than all the honey found

from bees that roam the hive,

much more than flowers from the plant

with petals bright, alive!

Much more than colors on the trees

in autumn's many hue,

of golden yellow, red and orange -

much more than rainbows too.

Much more than all the mountain peaks

that touch vast skies of blue

much more than questions I have asked

in prayers I've sent to You.

Much more than countless blessings from

Your miracles galore.

Much more than all my faithfulness.

But yet, You send me more.

Much more love that I waste on

such silly, selfish stuff.

Yet still, You send me greater love.

I can't love You enough.

Now may these humble words be passed

to everyone You touch,

so they, too, will have hearts to say,

"I love You very much."
