Adonai's Poem by Carmela Patterson

My eyes see the beauty of God's Creation
And my heart throbs with jubilation.

My heart wells up when I ponder Thy glory
And my ears absorb Thy ageless story.

My ears hear the choir music Thy angels play
And my spirit rejoices in the Praises they relay.

My eyes are lifted higher than the highest mountain;
My heart is filled with grace from Thy Holy Fountain.

My heart senses Thy Presence all around and about me;
My ears hear Thee silence the thunderings of the stormy sea.

My ears are open and listen for Thy gentle call to 'Come.'
My spirit longs to ever be with Thee...how awesome!

My spirit, my eyes, my heart and my ears Thou hast created,
But I have sinned ~ and for all sin Thou hast expiated!

My eyes can see only through imagery the beauty of Thy Face;
When will my heart be overflowing with that Ultimate Grace?

My heart begs Thee to forgive the stains of my soul;
May my ears hear: 'I forgive you, I AM your Goal.'

And again my heightened spirit soars the heavenly skies
For upon Thy Holy Face, I wish to feast my eyes.
My heart beats with hopeful sighs;
My ears hear my soul's cries
I am ADONAI'S!
