His Love Endures Forever: My Psalm 136

I. 

My Creation

 

Born in just the usual way,

By will of humans and will Divine...

From the moment I was created

His love intertwined with mine.

In the very inception,

Of who I'd grow to be,

In His death and resurrection

He thought of even me.

 

His love reaches back

To the plan before I knew--

His love reaches forward still

To shape me strong and true.

 

II.

My Deliverance

 

He, so good and powerful...

I, so corrupt and weak...

He sought me and redeemed me

While "my own way" I did seek.

He delivers me daily

And saves me by His hand;

Rescued from my worst enemy,

My own self-indulged demand.

 

His love delivered me

And continues still today--

His love recreates

My stubborn will and way.

 

III.

My Provision

 

He provides for every need I have,

Even those I do not know.

He sends the sunshine and the storm

And plants me where He knows

I'll grow.

He is the patient Potter

That molds this wayward clay.

He is the caretaking Gardener

That sees to my pruning and praise.

 

His love pronounces me worthy!

He thinks of me as a treasure!

Fearfully, wonderfully crafted...

His love endures forever!

 

Christina J. Brown

Yes, I did write this poem. I love to write. I feel that God has given writing to me as a way to glorify Him.

Sure, you may print this poem out. Just make sure you give credit to its TRUE AUTHOR... GOD!

Beautiful writing expresses the soul. Thank you for sharing this. I had to go back and re-read Psalm 136. Your three major "themes" align perfectly with this passage. My writing is not so creative, but I did as part of a Bible study and during one of my darkest periods write out what I believed about the Creator, how he had delivered me in the past in wonderful and unexpected ways and how thankful I was for His current provision. It was a step of healing...

Have a blessed day ~

I am in awe of your talents. What a wonderful poetic expression of your love and reliance on the Lord. You have a talent, don't hide it under a bushel, put it on a hill for all to see...give credit to the Lord.

I love this poem/psalm, and have goose bumps from reading it.

Thank you for sharing!

What a wonderful post!

I also enjoyed reading about your busy day on July 5th. I too had to take my mom early to the airport awhile back. Not as early as you though. Sometimes if's nice to be up and doing things around the home early, but it does throw a wrench in the rest of the day sometimes.

Have a great weekend

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
