My Blessings Poem by Lehlohonolo Selai

When God made man and man was made
Life began and life proceeded
With the breath of life
And the strength of God
Life still is

When sin took charge of man in Eden
When life got sour for man in Eden
When man hid from God in Eden
Grace was shown by God in Eden
Yet man's life was never sweetened

So God, with his kindness and greatness
Plunged man into the world so cruel
For actions got to be paid for
Yet God's splendor on man endures forever
And so does his love

So I'll lift up mine eyes unto the hills
From whence cometh my help
My help cometh from the Lord,
The maker of heaven and earth
He whose grace abounds in the deepest oceans

I will cling hard to the rugged cross
Of Him whose burdens are originally mine
I will cling to the old rugged cross
From whence my life got saved
I will shout the name Jesus with joy and joy again

Mine eyes have seen his Glory
Mine ears have tasted his Greatness
For He wrestled Israel through the night ‘till dawn
For then his Blessings rained unto him
His faithful servant

So listen to my voice, O' you men around
The Lord has heard your cries
So calm you your hearts down
For he has delivered you today
And forever so he will...
