A Daily Dose Of Mercy... Poem by Denis Martindale

A daily dose of mercy, Lord... that's what I pray to Thee,
That Thou could make me rest assured... for all that's meant to be...
For I'm not blessed as others are... with riches all can see,
Nor do I drive a fancy car... that's built for luxury...
I'm just someone who muddles through... and yet loves charity
And seeks to do what I must do... as that's my ministry...

It's all that I've been training for... indeed, my heart's desire,
It's helped me live through peace and war... aiming even higher...
It's made me see the pain and strife... the courage I admire,
It's made me cherish this one life... though troubles can conspire...
Yet think of me as clay to mould... that's strengthened not to tire,
Thy tender mercies to unfold... for Thou art my supplier...

Be gentle with my time on Earth... there's not much time to live...
Lord, let me prove I'm still of worth... and bless me as I give...


Denis Martindale December 2018.


The Gospel poem was shared on Revelation TV's
R-Mornings Thursday show on the 20th of December 2018
just after the TV viewers' Christmas messages...


The Gospel poem is based on the book A Daily Dose of Mercy,
by Don Stephens, the founder of the Mercy Ships hospital ministry.
The book was sent to me as a gift and it made my day, as I support
this ministry when their GIFTMATCH time can double my donations.

The charity's site confirms this:

GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU BLESS GOD!
