Thy Gentle Grace

Thy Gentle Grace

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

A gentle hush falls over me


As I listen quietly.


No sound uttered


As grace ushers


A river of peace.


 


My deepest praise,


My worship which fills this page…


Could never be enough


To thank You Lord, for all You have done.


How I lavish in Thy gentle grace.


 


For though I don’t deserve,


My soul You have preserved.


Giving Thy life,


So I can rise.


Until then, You I will serve.


 


Be over all my days


And govern all my ways.


Be not silent unto my call,


Lest I slip and fall.


My soul needs Thy gentle grace.


 


Keep my heart still


And humbled to Thy will.


For my only need


Is found in Thee.


O the love instilled!


 


A Love to never fade,


A Love to replace my pain.


A Heart to listen,


A Heart to watch me rise again…


In Thy gentle grace.

Melinda I found the first stanza to be not as good as the rest - maybe the use of two 'ush' type words did it..?
The rest are beautiful and each one of the others could be a lovely stand alone micro-prayer/poem.
Keep writing my friend.

Thanks for your input.
"Gentle hushes fall over me" to "Gentle hush falls over me". Beyond that a very beautiful prayer and witness to your faith.
