Because. Poem by dave lessard

Because this earth is beautiful,
I take joy in living;
because His word is truth,
I'll be more forgiving.

Because this world is lovely,
His love will be my guide;
I will stand in awe of Him,
with nothing more to hide.

Because my life's at peace,
and because of understanding;
I am free of undue stress,
and now, much less demanding.

Because he rules my heart,
I sing his praises gladly;
saying prayers of thanks,
cheerfully, not sadly.

And because I know His grace,
I dwell in satisfaction;
and the world I live in now,
is never, a distraction.
