My inspiration
comes from up above
Yearning to be like him,
my words, for him, are of love.
Just like he said,
raise your hands in praise;
Expect the unexpected,
sit back and you will be amazed.
Such sweet love was shown
as he died upon that cross,
Unexpectedly my life changed,
when I thought I was at a loss;
So then he showed me the way,
I have new life now, I have been saved.
Thank you, my Jesus,
for giving me that chance.

This is a wonderful tribute to the faith and source of strength that moves and guides you. I might suggest playing with the format a little to improve upon the presentation. Sometimes how we present something is just as important as what we are presenting. I would suggest shortening the lines and elongated this. For example...

Thank you oddfellow. I'm so happy you read this and like it. It is definitely heartfelt...more so when I was writing it. God is so good and keeps on blessing..I owe it all to him. Thanks for your time in reading and commenting on this, I truly appreciate it.

a very nice piece, and obviously heartfelt. I'm not sure what else to say, but stay strong and keep spreading the good news

Wonderful choice for your inspiration! Jesus is my inspiration, my joy and my life! I'd change the color of the font to be white so that readers can easily see the words. I'd also change "die" to "died." But as always, you've done a GREAT job! God bless you! Noble1
