God, I Love You!
From the start of my life,
You have always been there.
Walk me through life,
You have always be by my side.
Taken me by my hand,
You and I, we walk each step of the way.
Through those darkest times
When I’m weak and weary,
You shine the light
Show me the path of life.
Life is so beautiful.
Take a look, there’s love surrounded us.
No need to find
The happiness in life.
Since, it’s already here.
Don’t you see, the love surrounds us.
Matthew 11:28-30
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”
The New American Bible
Take the yoke you have tailored,
I’m learning to live freely and lightly.
Throughout the journey,
The road is open wide.
My burden is light.
And I’m worrying free.
Life is so beautiful.
Take one look, there’s love around me.
I now can find
The happiness in life.
Since, it’s already here.
I’m seeing the love around me.
Thanks for all the blessings
And the love you have given to me.
I love you, God!
Today and everyday,
I’m walking in your grace.
Writer’s Notes:
As I was humming to the melody of an Anita Mui Yim-fong (梅艷芳)’s song, the first few opening lines came to mind. It was the beginning of the start of In Your Grace writing process dating back in May 2011.
In between time working on revising Life Is Beautiful, I was inspired by Father Rothan’s homily on Matthew 11:28-30 passage, which gave rise to the completion of the second verse.
Given the title of "In Your Grace", the above set of verses is my personal homage to God in thanksgiving.
