Thank You, Jesus for laying down Your life for me.
Me, a sinner who fails You a lot, who is not worthy.
Why you are so patient with me, I do not understand.
I am just thankful that You are.
When life isn't good and I want to give up,
You always send me what I need to draw me back to you.
Without your healing, loving touch I would not be here.
On death's door twice I stood, but You brought me back again.
Jesus, I really do love you, but it was You who first loved me.
Author notes
I know this isn't very poetic, I haven't been feeling well the last few days. I just wanted to give Jesus some praise. For I know without Him I wouldn't be here today.
I am not sure where the picture came from

Thank you ~
Poetic or not.....this has brought tears to my eyes.....as you have spoken words directly from your heart ~
This is about the Lord....not about how well we penned our writes ~
You are Favored by God.....I shall tell you this.....the Lord has many things He wants you to do before His return.........so listen patiently with calmed ears......He is speaking to you daily ~
Keep TBN on at all times and never be led astray by false hope and worldy promises.......God is about to do wonders in your life :)

Thank you
for the Gold, but more for the chance to praise Jesus for all He has done for me and all He will do for me. I had a very long hard day today and to sit down to check things and find this was a sweet breath of fresh air.

This is heartfelt, sincere praise. Well done. Love the line, "but it was You who first loved me." Just one picky note, "patience" in line 3 should be patient. Best of luck in the contest.
