Dear god

You knew me from the very beginning,
Before I was in my mother’s womb,
You know how many hairs I have,
How many times I’ll bite my nails…

You loved me from the very beginning,
And you still love me now,
You’re the Alpha and Omega –
The beginning and the end.

Thankyou God, for sending your son Jesus,
To die on the cross and set us free.
Thankyou Jesus for rising again,
You defeated death – it’s under Your feet!

I’ll be counting the days, until You come again,
But ‘til then, I’ll be enjoying life as best I can!
Living for You and shining my light –
Loving you with all my might!!!
