Thank you Lord for Your Miracles
Lord, thank You for showing me how miracles are made
One marvel at a time;
How human spirits are moved by the subtlest of things,
Like hands offered in love - no strings attached -
When accompanied by smiles
Forthright and sure;
That first names used personally
With souls disenfranchised
Can turn scowls into smiles for a lifetime,
Melting hearts as cold as icicles
With the warmth of a bear hug.
You teach me how promises consistently kept
Convey powerful truths
Like, "Jesus loves you, and so do I!"
You show me how cruelty branded into a youth
by the people long since passed.
Can - by these acts of authentic love -
Lose finally its devastating force
And tears of relief fall freely.
Silently, these messages carried by others and me
Work their miracles.
Yes, Lord, I have learned there is no scar etched so deeply,
No blow dealt so deftly,
That the love of Jesus Christ can't heal.
Thank You, Lord, for Your miracles.
Major Glen Doss of the Salvation Army
