For You I Do Lord Poem by Jak Hard

I open my arms for you so wide,
Because I am yours and you are mine.
When the sky wept, you helped me with no rest,
You gave me hope and showed me my right from my left.
In gratitude for this, I give you my life,
I surrender my soul to you who is eternally right.

My faith and my trust are always to you Father,
For there is none else that I would rather
Lay my life for you like you did on that cross,
Your body bleeding, your battle to us seemed lost.
But with your power, your faith and your love,
You conquered the grave and gave evil a shove.

You built a bridge, ceaseless and perfect,
From your selfless sacrifice came heaven direct.
Yourhands and feet that were once nailed to the cross are
Holy and proof that my God is a living God.
You gave me a gift that I didn’t deserve and
Due to this I come together so to you, I can serve.

You are me and build me and there I shall stay for
Your light, oh so dazzling, shadows upon the sun,
Making the sin falter and fall and succumb.
I praise you, I love you, and for you I spread the word.
I am your child, your servant, and I will make your word heard.

I extend my branches and I sow your seeds,
I will answer those poor, yearning, pleads.
For my prayers in the desert, the rain and the flames
Is for you, oh, Lord to give me hope and faith again.
I ask for your guidance, your wisdom and will and
I will obey you; I won’t steal, lie or kill.

I love you oh God with my mind, soul and heart,
I love my neighbour and for you I will depart.
Lord, you became a father to the fatherless and
You gave a child to the lonely and childless.
Your kindness and power reverberate around,
Your choiring angels are the welcoming sound.

Lord you created the natural world,
In six days your creations had twirled.
You said let there be light and again that will be said for
When the Day of Judgment comes, the evil will be dead.
Thanks to you I have eternal life and
Now i praise you with all my strength and my might.
