On bended knees I come before Our Lord in prayer.   

I look upon His feet scarred so deep.
Then I begin to weep.   He looks down  upon me, lifts my chin. His scarred hands I see.   Then the tears continue to fall;  For  it  was I that put them there, after  all.   Then, with eyes like diamonds, HE looks upon me, and I say, ‘Lord, I am so sorry, forgive me, I pray!   Only then I  hear Him say, “You are forgiven!   I love you so, that is my way!”

The greatest gift I could know – is that He loves me so.

Jesus, I say, what can I do to thank-you for this gift of love you have given me?   Then He says, ‘Continue to pray’!    So every day, I continue to  pray, that in some small way my ‘little light’ will be His delight; that some day He will say, “Well done good and faithful servant, enter into the home of my Father.”

Book of Luke : Chapter 24 verses 36-39 Jesus appears to the Eleven

36) While they were still speaking about all this, he himself stood in their midst (and said to them, “Peace to you.” )   37) In their panic and fright they thought they were seeing a ghost. 38) He said to them, “Why are you so disturbed?”   Why do such ideas cross your mind?  39) Look upon my hands and feet; it is really I.   Touch me, and see that a ghost does not have flesh and bones as I do.”

Book of Isaiah: Chapter 12 verses 1-6 Song of Thanksgiving

1) On that day, you will say: I give you thanks O LORD; though you have been angry with me, your anger has been abated, and you have consoled me.   2) God indeed is my Savior; I am confident and unafraid.   My strength and my courage is the LORD, and he has been my Savior   3) With joy you will draw water at the fountain of salvation, 4) and say on that day: Give thanks to the LORD, acclaim his name; among the nations make known  his deeds,  proclaim how exalted is his name.”5) Sing praise to the LORD for His glorious achievement; let this be known throughout all the earth.   6) Shout with exultation, O city of Zion, for great in your midst is  the Holy One of Israel!”
